"Both of my kids had wonderful experiences at HHS- one being an AP student who received a full tuition scholarship; and my other who has learning disabilitiies gotaccepted to several colleges. Only recently, we have had a problem with anti semitism. The new majorettes coach Cindi Parise( who is NOT a teacher here) has a problem with students of the jewish faith. She held a mandatory practice on Yom Kippur, and my kid, the only jew on the team was penalized for not attending. I am still so shocked that such a fine HS would tolerate and continue to employ such an ignorant individual"

"The school district has made a lot of changes in the last 5 years. Attendance is up, APs are way up, acceptances to colleges, including all Ivys is up. The IB program will start in the fall 2011."

"If you read Walt Whitman's definition of how to teach a well rounded student, you will not find the answer in the Harrison School System. Teachers are let go before they can reach tenure, and more administrators are being hired at outrageous salaries. More concern is put on the overall rating of the school, then the actual teaching of the children. The Special Education program is kept at the bare minimum just to appease the state..."

"This school is on the move up and it has increased the numbers of AP scholars 400% since the year 2000. The school continues to push a rigorous curriculum and has teachers who committed to offering equal access to all students. The school has great teachers, a supportive community and a good administrative team."
