If you are considering moving into the South Harrison area you will find it to be a wonderful place to live and raise a family. Many community events, recreational activities, and natural beauty abound with open and friendly people in all of our communities. If you are considering enrolling your child at South Harrison, I would encourage you to browse the school websites, contact the individual school to talk with the principal, and tour the school to hear about the good things going on with our students.
I am privileged to live and work in the South Harrison community. I look forward to meeting you as I visit our schools and communities. There is much to be proud of at South Harrison in the accomplishments of our students and staff. I encourage you to please consider learning more about our schools and community.
