WELCOME The administration and staff of Harlan County High School would like to welcome each student and their parents to a historical 2008-2009 school year. This is an exciting time for our Harlan County High School students as we come together as one high school to offer many new courses and facets to learning in a ‘state of the art’ educational setting. Our students’ educational experiences have been the primary focus during these past years as the Board of Education, Superintendent, Central Office Staff, Administrators, School Staff, Community Partners, Parents and Students have met in different committees to establish the criteria that have been combined to establish our Harlan County High School as we know it today. These committees worked diligently throughout the previous years to plan and implement a learning environment in which our students can maximize their fullest potential. The curriculum has been established to ensure ALL students an Individual Learning Plan that will prepare them for a smooth transition into the workforce, armed forces, technical or college education. We encourage parents and students to become informed of the many career majors that can be attained at our new Harlan County High School. Our school offers the students of Harlan County a chance to prepare and compete with ANY student academically. It is our desire that all students become an active school member; this will make for a memorable high school term. Our high school offers many sports and extracurricular activities to meet the needs of ALL our students. Pride and unity will become strong in our students as they bond with one another during their involvement in the total school program. As the doors open for the first time during the 2008-2009 schools, our students begin establishing the traditions which will last for an eternity. Our county has the opportunity to become strong and unified through our youth! This handbook is designed to acquaint you with the guidelines that govern Harlan County High School. OUR MISSION We take seriously our obligation to educate every student to a high level, accept no excuses for failure, and understand the value of hard work by students and staff. Our culture of success will support systems in the school that encourage and even reward hard work.
