It is our firm belief that a child who feels safe, nurtured and protected, and who knows the limits set forth to accomplish those purposes, will experience a freedom to learn and to grow in their educational environment and community - Harris Hill. We also believe that parents, knowing the rights and responsibilities of each person within the walls of Harris Hill, will experience a sense of security in knowing that their children are in a place where proactive measures for safety are being taken. At Harris Hill, there will not only be zero tolerance for unacceptable behavior (in word and in deed), but also specific school-wide sanctions to that end.
