This school is good overall it just struggles to keep everyone in check sometime. This doesn't happen very often now but there used to fights, but luckly they were able to fix that.

Harmons main focus is collage readiness , mental health and acknowledging the diversity in the school. Harmon really opens your eyes on the different cultures and what it is like where they are from! It's a really accepting school based off the students mainly!

Harmon also has a great Math Department receiving Gold Status at the KCKPS Math R...
