NOTES FROM THE COUNSELING OFFICE:

Summer school forms are available in the office and the counseling office. They are also available at the HCS website at www.harrisonschools.com/forms.htm.

Students: Just a reminder about how to stay eligible for sports in the fall. You must pass four out of the five classes you are enrolled in for second and third trimesters. You may need to take summer school to become eligible to play sports in the fall.

Juniors: If you would like to retake the ACT during the summer, or fall, stop in the Counseling Office for more information. At the current time, we believe there will not be a free fall retake. If you need to increase your scores for college acceptance, you will need to retest.
