As Principal of Harmon Middle School, I am aware that the transition from elementary school to middle school is often an emotional one, not just for students, but for parents concerned about the changes their children will undergo during these important years of development. Mindful of this milestone in a student’s life, the Harmon Middle School staff is committed to making that transition a smooth and rewarding one for all.

            Students enter middle school at a time when they are experiencing a variety of physical, socio-emotional and intellectual changes, and our dedicated Harmon staff works hard to address these changes in creative and meaningful ways.

            Toward that end, we have developed curricular and extracurricular activities that build on each child’s individual strengths and interests. As a result, there is “something for everyone” at Harmon, and the active involvement of our students in both the academic and social experience at Harmon Middle School is designed to bring out the best in each of them and give them the sense of belonging they need at this stage of their development.

            The Harmon School PRIDE program rewards both the academic and social growth of our students throughout their experience. As we prepare for the start of the 2008-2009 school year, we remain committed to helping students recognize their unique interests and talents and to realize their individual and collective growth as a member of the middle school community.
