The mission of Harrison is to ensure high levels of learning for all students. Programs within the school, such as JROTC and the Randall T. Shepard Academy for Law and Social Justice are just a few examples of rigorous curriculum that engage students’ interests and offer unique experiences in service learning. In addition, Harrison focuses on leadership through Key Club, National Honor Society, and Link Leaders. Harrison Warriors choose to participate in a full range of after-school athletic and academic programs that connect students to their school and community.
In 2018, Harrison was named a bronze recipient in the U.S. News & World Reports BEST high schools.
