The mission of the South Harrison School District is to prepare our students to become confident, capable life-long learners and problem solvers by providing learning experiences which foster the intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth necessary to become responsible, productive members of a culturally and economically diverse society. Toward this end, the South Harrison School District will work together in partnership with the staff, home and community to foster a safe, caring, academically challenging and supportive environment.

There are two classes at each grade level in grades Kindergarten through 5 and three classes for grade 6. There are two half day sessions of Kindergarten. The Board of Education is committed to retaining small class sizes to ensure a maximum degree of individual attention, leading to close student-teacher relationships and fostering a healthy learning environment.

The experienced teaching staff strives to help each student develop strong academic skills within a framework of steady emotional growth and positive self image. The basic program of instruction includes language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, physical education, library and technology.

Our Gifted and Talented Program offers an array of learning opportunities. Our elementary curriculum promotes integration of instruction for better learning.

There are ever-expanding extra curricular programs available to children. Presently, there are in place programs in art, physical education and technology.

Of importance to working parents is our After School Program, an option for parents who need extended child care, beyond the regular school day. The children are professionally supervised. Snacks, organized activities, crafts, stories, etc. are a part of the program.
