PHILOSOPHY OF HARRISON HIGH SCHOOL
Central to the philosophy of Harrison High School is the belief that all humans can learn. This is based upon our
recognition of human integrity and intelligence as valuable resources within our school and within the
community.
We believe that students' needs can be met individually at the same time that students become aware of and
acknowledge differences. These differences may be cultural, philosophical, intellectual, or personal. These
needs are met through interactive learning experiences like cooperative learning, varied types of assessments,
and technological resources. Heterogeneous classrooms provide the medium for this variety of educational
experience.
Relationships at Harrison High School should be supportive, provide opportunities for success, and allow for
change when necessary. This is important whether the relationship is student to student, student to teacher,
teacher to teacher, teacher to parent, teacher to administrator, or administrator to community.
Harrison High School seeks to prepare students for life in a constantly changing world as they make decisions,
establish personal and professional goals, and grow toward becoming the leaders of tomorrow.
