The Harlan Independent School District would like to send our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Harlan Middle School student Timothy Hickson. Timothy was special to many people and brought many smiles to his friends and staff in the hallways and classrooms at HMS. Timothy also participated in many sports where he was able to enjoy the games that he loved while spending time with the friends he loved even more. No words can truly describe how much Timothy meant to so many. We all mourn this tragic loss and send our prayers to his family and friends on this terrible night.
Harlan High School will be open on Monday for any students who want to speak with our counselors. The Harlan Independent School District would like to join together to support our students, staff, and community throughout the coming days.
HES students participating in Dragons Beyond the Bell Extreme took a field trip to Pine Mountain Settlement School this week. Students explored the campus, made their own lip balm, and learned about mountain heritage and traditions. 🌄
