COMMUNITY LEADERS, LAWMAKERS, PARENTS
& STUDENTS ON THE RECORD FOR HARMONY
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
“It’s easy to know from looking at your school and
talking with your principal, and knowing the staff
that he has here, that they challenge you, but they
also give you the ability to dream and to achieve
and that is what our community is about. I’m
very impressed with the quality and the expertise
you have here for robotics. What’s significantly
different from what I have seen at other schools
are the different
levels and the
fact that the
older students
mentor the
younger ones,
which is really
neat to see because
I can see
the complexity
level going up.”

“I really enjoyed
visiting
Harmony Science
Academy
last week. The
reception I received
from the
staff, students,
parents and
business community
was wonderful. You have really done a
great job to establish an environment which is
conductive to students receiving an exceptional
educational experience. All the students seemed
very engaged and excited to learn new concepts”.
Congresswoman Kay Granger (R-TX)
United States House of Representatives, District 12
Visit to HSA Fort Worth, April 12, 2010
“The Harmony schools are an excellent example
of how we can use innovative teaching methods
to challenge students and help them reach their
highest potential. One of the major challenges
this country faces is how to improve students’
academic achievements and reduce the number
of high school drop-outs. The Harmony School
of Excellence is lacking this problem head-on by
challenging students and expecting nothing less
than excellence. You are all lucky to be attending
such a fine school”.
Congressman Michael T. McCaul (R-TX)
United States House of Representatives, District 10
Harmony School of Excellence Austin School Opening Letter
January 23, 2010
“My dad has lived in the same home for over 30
years and recently Harmony Public Schools have
opened a new
campus about a
block and a half
away.
Before
the school even
opened there
was a knock at
my father’s door.
Not just to give
a flyer, but they
wanted to meet the people in that community. Not
only has Harmony provided my father—a former
English teacher—with an avenue to share his skills,
but now at age 78, he feels he is part of that Harmony
campus and part of the charter school movement.”
