I am a parent as well as a member of the T.H. Harris PTG. There is every opportunity for parents to be involved at making thier child's experience at Harris extremely successful. Likewise, the students are afforded an excellent education that they choose to accept...or not. One's school experiences, for both parents and students, comes down to choices. I choose to be an active and participating member at Harris. I know what goes on there, and I am glad to be part of a great educational experience.

After being involved with the school, I am convinved that teh school's focus is on providing a quality education in a safe and caring environment. Calls to the administration are returned promptly; teachers are focused on engaging their students, and technology (lots of it) is in use in every class and throughout the school. Great school; great teachers!!!

This is my sons 1st year at Harris. In the beginning I was very very concerned. We had a little bit of a teacher problem. But I spoke to the VP and my son was removed from the class. And put into the correct class. The Office staff is great. And their are a few teachers that are amazing. Most of my sons homework is done with on-line text books. It is a great school, there are always a few students at every school that could be a problem. But its the parents responsibility to make sure you've taught your child it be responsible for there actions.

I sent my son to this school after Katrina for he was awaiting the re-opening of his school. The students and faculty were very friendly, the administration was easily accessible, and my son enjoyed his time at the school.

If you care about your child, do not send him/her to T.H. Harris! I am a very involved parent, and I know first-hand that this school is unsafe and un-caring. If this is your district, you would do better to get a permit to send your child to another middle school. I wish someone had warned me.

I sent my child to T.H. Harris, and I regret very much sending her there. The quality of education and student services is poor. The new principal distances himself from the functioning of the school. The kids are great, but the school needs better teachers and better leadership.
