T.H Harris is an amazing school. The Talented Theater program is very good and they do a play for the school every year as we write our own scripts. The Student Council is also very good because of everything they do for the special ed and teachers and other people at school who arent really looked close enough at. Being a student at Harris is really fun and amazing its only my 7th grade year but I already have so many memories. Walking into the school every day just puts a smil on my face.
