May is just around the corner and it appears we have some seniors who have a serious case of senioritis. There is a false social media post regarding no school for Friday, April 25th due to Internet and Water outages. They get an A for effort, but unfortunately that post if false. As much as we would all enjoy an extra day off in April we will have school tomorrow so we don’t have to make it up at the end of May. Remember, the Harlan Independent School District will be on a regular schedule for Friday, April 25th. Again, we will be on a regular schedule for Friday, April 25th.

Good luck to our Harlan Lady Dragons as they travel to Middlesboro tonight to play. The game will begin at 5:30 PM. Let’s go green!! 🐉🥎
