Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Harrison District Curriculum
Harrison’s English Language Arts Curriculum requires students to develop the ability to read closely and attentively in a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts. Students learn how to take a stand on an author’s argument or document and use evidence from literature to support that stand. They analyze character traits, story plots and the voice/tone the literature is written in. Through engaging with such texts, student learn the reading, writing, and communication skills that they will use in their future.
Harrison’s math curriculum requires students to develop an understanding of core mathematics skills such as numeration, abstract reasoning, measurement and understanding of geometry, pattern recognition, and problem solving. Students build on their understanding of these skills as they move up grade-by-grade and are expected to be able to apply them at the college and career level by the time they graduate high school.

Chalk Talk: It’s Everybody’s History
When it comes to core subjects, history often gets lost in the shuffle. Not only is it not as glamorous as math, reading, and science, but it is often thought to be less practical than those subjects. People think of math, reading, and science as subjects that teach skills that can be applied to real-world situations. They think of history as stuff that happened a long time ago. Now more than ever it is necessary to give history its rightful place among other core subjects. Students who are entering a world that is more socially, culturally, and economically unified than ever need to understand how the world got that way. They also need to understand the events that have destroyed that unity in the past. Students can only learn these things by studying history, and they will only study history if we make it a priority.
