The senior counselor made sure that all the class of 2024 received the help they needed to graduate and they had 100% graduation class this year like last year. The only problem the school have is they pick who they want for senior officers, prom,and homecoming and not the vote of the student. Overall nice school parents need to be more involved and better activities for the students beside sports.

Harperwoods is a very unorganized school, they loose most of the kids important information. Most of the activities are very poorly put together, and a lot of the teachers care nothing about if the kids succeed or not. I don't even know how this school is able to function year after year.
