Harrison County Schools - High School Courses Offered
Harrison County's five fully accredited high schools offer programs that permit numerous options that provide high academic expectations. A variety of career and technical education classes are offered at each high school, and students may attend United Technical Center, located within Harrison County. United Technical Center offers programs such as masonry, welding, small engine repair, and hospitality careers, medical technology, and various other technical programs. As we look at the profile of a Harrison County Schools graduate, it is our goal that each student will leave with a CTE certification or possess the necessary skills and passion to explore post-secondary education at a two or four-year institution. Students who would benefit from a smaller, more structured school environment may attend half-day or full-day schedules at United High School.
The state-mandated curriculum drives the secondary program. Individual schools may develop courses to meet the interests and needs of their students. Possibilities for participation in athletics cover the entire spectrum of team and individual sports, and students compete successfully in regional and state events in a variety of student-athletics programs. Virtual education and distance learning classes are also offered throughout the district.
