On behalf of the Harlan Independent School District, we wish all of our Green Dragon families and friends a very Merry Christmas.
It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!
The Harlan Independent School District will host the Annual Christmas Music Program on Friday, December 20th, 2024 at 9:30 AM in the Harlan High School gymnasium.
Musical selections will be performed by Harlan Elementary, Harlan Middle, and Harlan High School Choirs. In addition, listeners will also hear a medley of Christmas-themed selections by Beginner, Intermediate, High School, and the newly installed Jazz Band. Finally, a special treat will be performed by Dr. Weiner's High School Spanish class.
Oh, and don't be surprised if Santa Claus makes an appearance!!
Students, staff, and visitors are in for a true holiday treat as Directors Jeremy Bell and Betsy Burkhart highlight the spectacular musical talents of our Green Dragon students.
