This is just a reminder that we will not have school on Monday, January 16th for Martin Luther King Day. We hope everyone enjoys the three day weekend. School will resume on Tuesday, January 17th.

Martin Luther King Jr. is best known for being an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he expanded American values to include the vision of a color blind society, and established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience.

Dear Parents,
Our mission at Harmony Public Schools is to prepare each student for higher learning in a safe, caring and collaborative atmosphere through a quality learner-centered educational program with a strong emphasis on math, engineering, science and technology. Harmony's vision is to lead our students from the classroom into the world as productive and responsible citizens and even Nobel laureates.

With this mission and vision in mind, we would like to introduce the College Readiness and Leadership Program (CRLP). Students at Harmony Schools have been participating in numerous local, statewide, and international competitions and have received many awards and trophies in the field of science, mathematics and computer technologies. We enhance our students level one more step and prepare them for top universities.

CRLP program is designed to prepare our selective students to top universities such as IVY League Schools which prepare very successful graduates and future leaders. Along academic success with perfect SAT scores top universities also look for voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness and expedition/exploration which help build a well-rounded college student.

The CRLP program will be a full school year program for our students in grades 6th thru 11th grade. It is going to be in partnership with "The Congressional Award" organization which is a public/private partnership created by Congress to promote and recognize initiative, service and achievement in America's youth. The Congressional Award provides a unique opportunity for young people to set and achieve personally challenging goals that build character and foster community service, personal development, and citizenship.
