Parents, We wanted to inform you of an alleged threat, involving a weapon, that was made toward North Harrison High School. Police were immediately contacted and are investigating. We do not believe the threat to be credible. However, all acts of this nature are taken seriously. Out of an abundance of caution, there will be an extra police presence on campus. If the investigation reveals any information that parents and students need to be aware of, we will certainly pass it along. The safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority.

NHMS 7th graders learned about Archery in Mr. Cooper's PE class today!

Mr. Johnson's 4th grade class worked on their group collaborations today in reading. Groups were tasked with starting a business that would help others and to consider the steps to take to start their businesses.

In focus on our STEM initiative, Ms. Hollen’s class talked about where you would go if you floated down a river. They learned that there’s a pattern with all rivers. They all start on elevated land areas such as mountains or hilly terrain and all eventually end up in one of our Earth’s oceans. In partner pairs they created their own “land.” They took their projects outside to see what happens when it rains in these areas. They discussed how the rainwater rolls downhill to the lower areas and forms these rivers. The kiddos’ had a great time with this today and are looking forward to the rest their erosion-themed STEM activities the rest of this week.

Mr. Kellems and Mr. Shiner received a Samtec Cares grant that will be used to help purchase equipment for the STEAM Lab at North Harrison High School. This transformative initiative seeks to establish a state-of-the-art STEAM laboratory that will play a pivotal role in advancing education and innovation not only in the traditional STEM fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, but also incorporating Art into the equation as well. We are extremely thankful to be partnering with Samtec in order to bring STEM equipment to North Harrison High School.
