Happy National School Nurse Day!🩺
Today, we are proud to celebrate two very special members of the Harlan Independent Schools family. Our school nurses do so much more than treat everyday needs — they bring compassion, comfort, and care to our students and staff each day.
Thank you, Nurse Terri and Nurse Jan, for the kindness, dedication, and support you give to our schools. We are so grateful for the difference you make.
Join us in thanking our school nurses for all they do! 💚

Sunshine School students recently took part in the annual Sunshine School Little League Basketball Games! Students had the opportunity to choose between participating in basketball or cheerleading, making this a fun and exciting event for everyone involved.
The games gave students a chance to build teamwork, grow in confidence, and enjoy a special experience alongside their classmates. It was also wonderful to welcome families to cheer on and support their students.
Best of all, there was no cost for students or families to participate, helping ensure that every child had the opportunity to be part of the excitement and make lasting memories.

Harlan Independent Schools is gathering information from students, families, educators and community members to support our work in developing a district Portrait of a Learner. Built on a strong tradition of academic success, this effort will help guide how we prepare Harlan students—not just for graduation, but for life beyond our classrooms. The Portrait of a Learner will define the skills, mindsets, and experiences we believe every Dragon should develop to be confident, capable, and future-ready.
Your voice matters in this process. We invite you to take a few moments to complete this short survey and help shape the future of Harlan Independent Schools. The survey will be open through January 7th.
