    I'm now a senior at JC Harmon. I had a rough freshman year, pulled through being a straight A's student sophomore year, and just continuing to pull through the final two years I have left. Some kids don't respect the teachers as they should, and it's not unusual to hear cursing or very explicit language be towards teachers, either. I believe this is a great school, but discipline needs to be harder. The way some teachers let students walk on them makes me undeniably infuriated. I hope my Senior year will be less stressful, but I do recommend this school over Schlagel any day.

    My experience at J C Harmon was very good. They really care at Harmon. It's a very diverse school with plenty of culture from all over the world. The teachers are amazing. They really care. They would go out of their way to make sure you understand and ready for future classes. Harmon provides many opportunities for college. There are a lot of clubs but not really enough for everybody. Sports haven't been that good, not very good teams but they try. The food is average but enough to get through the day. Overall, Harmon is a very fun and great experience. The people are nice and will help you. The teachers are amazing and will always be willing to help you with anything. Harmon is overall a great experience for high school.
    My experience at J.C Harmon over the years was great and nothing but good times all year around. Starting with the teachers they are the perfect support system to help you get through to school. The teachers always motivate their students to succeed and always do better. Including the students always supportive and helpful with the forms they can. Overall J.C Harmon High School is a great school and I genuinely enjoyed attending this school and being apart of it.
