About HCSD Athletics

The Harrison Athletics program is built on the principles of Rigor, Development, Communication, and Accountability. Harrison coaches work to develop programs based on communication, clear expectations, ongoing feedback, accountability and developing self-advocacy in our student athletes. We are committed to meeting the standards of high expectation and maximum effort on and off the field.

Special Education Services

The provision of a free and appropriate public education will continue to be provided via all three instructional models (100% in person; 100% remote; hybrid model). Initial and re-evaluation testing will continue and will be administered in-person, via Google Meet/Zoom or a combination thereof. Committee on Special Education (CSE) meetings will continue via Google Meet or Zoom at this time. Part 200 Special Education Regulations and guidance documents from the NY State Education Department regarding the education of students with disabilities will be implemented and followed.
