Harper High School has been a pretty fun place to go to school. If you are in the honor classes they push you to your limits and want to exceed. I feel like the administration could improve a lot of things with Harpeth High but overall it's better than most in Cheatham County.

Teachers and faculty seem happy and joyful~ a sure sign of support and positive leadership! This directly affects our children and it’s apparent in our daughter’s perspective and experience at Harpeth~ we are so grateful for the faculty and staff and opportunities offered at Abintra!

I go to harpeth as a sophomore. It's not the worst, but there are things that could be done better. 1. The ID's. They've said that when the picture ID's arrive, we'll have to wear them. Just why?!? They look terrible, and they're just another thing trying to get us to accept surveillance in the name...
