Harrisburg SD 7J

HSD offers excellent opportunities for children to learn in a safe and nurturing environment. Our schools are small enough to make personal connections, yet large enough to offer students a wide array of award-winning academic, athletic, and activities programs. The district also endeavors to inform, involve and serve the Harrisburg community at large in a respectful and inclusive fashion. The district operates on a 4-Day School Week schedule with no school on most Fridays. The single, spacious and well-groomed campus features one K-5 elementary school, one 6-8 middle school and one 9-12 high school. Currently, the district’s K-12 enrollment is approximately 870 students with class sizes averaging 22 students at our elementary school, 23 at our middle school, and 19 at our high school. HSD students are making superb progress in the area of academic achievement. HES has a time-honored tradition of receiving “Outstanding” ratings on the Oregon Department of Education’s annual School Report Card. In addition, HMS students are also demonstrating significant academic growth. All student demographic subgroups at HMS are now meeting federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) benchmarks for the first time in several years. Future incoming freshman classes at HHS should be well positioned to demonstrate their proficiency in the “Essential Skills” which are now a mandatory component of Oregon’s increasingly rigorous high school graduation requirements.
