CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

The Harrison Central School District's Business Department, at Harrison High School, supports students self-selecting enrollment in the most challenging classes and expects every member of the learning community to continually adapt to meet the evolving needs of the business world. We provide students with a rich array of opportunities, from introduction-level classes to courses that allow students to earn college credits, to an IB-level course. We give students the opportunity to cultivate talents and realize successes in and out of the classroom. The Business Department embraces high performance standards focused on continuous improvement on behalf of the students we serve, and prepares students for college and career readiness.
