Harmony Highlights:
December 2021 Edition

In this season of giving, I would like to share my gratitude towards every member of the Harmony family: educators, administrators, staff, students and parents. It is through your unwavering support that we continued to thrive, during these unprecedented times.

As 2021 comes to a close, I would like to reflect on some of the accomplishments our district had this semester. From relocating our Lubbock campus, breaking ground on a new campus to being named one of the top Charter schools in El Paso, by El Paso Inc’s Best of El Paso. We look to continue our success into the new year.

As a reminder, Harmony Public Schools West Texas district will be closed for the winter break from Dec. 20, 2021, to Dec. 31, 2021. Administrators will return on Jan. 3 for professional development, and the second semester for all our students will begin Wednesday, Jan. 5.

Wishing you a season filled with blessings and good cheer. Happy Holidays!
 
Dr. Kamil Yilmaz,
Area Superintendent

Harmony School of Innovation in conjunction with the Healthy Families Healthy Kids initiative hosted a Gingerbread house event on Thursday, December 16.

There is no lack of holiday spirit at Harmony School of Excellence, which held a winter spirit week December 13-17.
