Due to the blowing snow, we have some roads that are impassable and not safe for our kids or busses. Harrison Community Schools will be closed today, Monday, February 17th.
Kudos to our cheer team, Coach Haskin, Assistant Coach Battle, and Volunteer Coach Taylor. As Coach Haskin stated, "Today our season came to a close. Today I watched this team score the highest they’ve ever scored. I watched them work completely as a team. I read comments from judges “holy moly Harrison” “yes that’s Harrison”. I watched these girls leave their heart and soul on the mat. We did not end today the way we wanted. But we ended today with the sense of accomplishment. We have continued to improve and work together." Let’s go blue 💙💛
