William Henry Harrison High School Reviews
Rating 3.91 out of 5 413 reviews
Harrison High School is a welcoming place with a seemingly strong staff. Raider spirit is around every corner and they offer a variety of clubs and sports for students to get involved in, along with fairly diverse class and diploma options. A picture perfect highschool it seemed. However, as a transferring student going into my junior year of high school, I did not feel welcomed. Upon my first meeting at Harrison- before even starting. I met with my counselor; whose responsibility was to guide me through this change. That was not the case. He dismissed anything that left my mouth and stared at my chest the whole time. My father was sitting next to me, and the man in charge of my schedule at a brand-new school was only focused on my body. I left the meeting with an uneasy stomach and a crawling feeling on my skin. Now every time I enter student services, I dread the mental toll it will take to experience that again. Men who sexualizing teenage girls do not belong in schools.
When I first arrived at Harrison I was very nervous to be moving into a much bigger school than I'm usually used to. I was put in a different section that is not actually apart of the school and we call it the RSC. The RSC helped me a lot by going a slower pace than the rest of the school but still having the same learning experience as everyone else. I became so comfortable in the RSC that when it was time for me to leave my sophmore year I was horrified. I got over that fear when I auditioned for showchoir my second year and a row there and I have been in showchoir ever since. I think that choir has my most memorable moments during my time in High School. It was where I started to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people. In showchoir were all focused on the singing and dancing and getting to know one another. This year I was lucky enough to become a dance captain and help others while also making up some of the dance moves myself and I am enjoying it so much!
Overall my school is a very safe and well known school. We have good athletics, as well as lots of good staff, who are there to support us no matter what. The best part of the school is that we have such good athleics programs. We go into sports knowing we have awesome coaches, who know what they are talking about and have our best interests at heart. The worst part of our school would have to be the way some funds are spent. There are certain areas of the school, such as the lack of plentiful or diverse food options at lunch, that lots fo students would like to see changed for the better. Instead, there are funds spent on things like over 20 TVs added around the school.
