Enrollment Up, New Renovations In Harvester's 35th School Year

The 2021-22 school year starts August 12

When Harvester students return to campus on August 12, they will meet many new classmates as enrollment grew by over 15%. They will also discover a completely refurbished gymnasium with seating for 300 spectators, new flooring in the middle school and freshly polished floors elsewhere.

While the school heads into the third school year affected by Covid-19, its calendar is, understandably, subject to change. While arrangements for virtual learning can be made, it is expected that nearly all students will return for in-person learning. Neither masks nor vaccinations are required for attendance.

Below is a list of important dates on the academic calendar, which is in addition to an athletic calendar filled with games for 15 different sports options throughout the year. The athletic calendar can be accessed at https://www.harvesteracademy.com/teams-schedules.
