Mission
“The Harrison Central School District embraces the core values of equity, access, rigor, and adaptability. The District engages students to think critically, resolve problems ethically, develop an understanding of the interconnected global society, and positively impact the world. Partnership among parents, community members, and educators is integral to the District’s commitment to enriching and empowering all children who learn in our schools.”[3]
History
The school district was established in the late nineteenth century as Union free School District No. 6, in conjunction with the neighboring town of Rye, New York. It has since severed ties with Rye, and now serves only residents of the town of Harrison, including the village of Harrison and Purchase, New York.
Spirit
The mascot for teams of all sports and all ages is the Husky. The colors are maroon and white.
