Harrisburg R-VIII School District

"The principal is the cultural architect of the school. They set the tone for how students feel when they walk in the door and how teachers feel when they walk into the classroom." - Denise Herrmann (Veteran Teacher and Principal)

HAPPY PRINCIPALS' DAY to Mr. Burris, Mr. Wardrip, and Mr. Fisher. We deeply appreciate the way you engage, lead, and inspire the students and staff of our district each and every day. #Bulldawgpride #nationalschoolprincipalsday

Boone Electric taught our kindergarten and first graders about Arbor Day last week! The crew shared the importance of protecting and planting trees, showed us their equipment, and demonstrated how they go up in the bucket to trim trees for safety around power lines. A few students helped them plant two new trees on our playground. Each student got to take a sapling home to plant as well. What a wonderful way for our young learners to celebrate both Earth and Arbor Day!

All elementary and middle school library books are due May 1.
