*PTSA*
Thank You Harrison Community
Harrison PTSA wants to thank all of those who supported our effort to
reverse the Cobb County School Board’s decision regarding the Freshman
Center at Harrison. We are thrilled to report that we were successful,
and the project should proceed at originally planned, with construction
starting this summer.
This effort took people from all sides of our community working
together. Booster clubs from the music department and sport teams,
along with PTSA and school administrators worked hard to make this
happen. Whether you wrote emails, made phone calls, showed up at board
meetings, or spoke to board members – you had a part in our success, and
we thank you from the bottom of our heart. Go Hoyas!
New PTSA Executive Committee Takes the Helm
The 2012-2013 PTSA Executive Committee will take over leadership of the
PTSA at the end of this school year. Janie and I are honored to have
served as Co-Presidents these past two years and thank everyone for
their support. Please join us in welcoming the new PTSA team.
President: Henry Taylor
Vice President: Jenny Bradley
Treasurer: Janie Dollar
