Dear Parents and Families,

It was a successful week at Harby Jr High! Our Choir performed at the Space Cowboys Game on Thursday, our Volleyball teams won three out four games, and our football players had their first scrimmage. We hope to see every one at the Harby Skate Night hosted by Alvin Skate N Party from 8pm to 11pm. Come and skate with your favorite teachers and challenge Mr Teal to a race!

Sincerely,

William "Randy" Teal

Principal of Harby Jr High

We have partnered with Alvin Downtown T-Shirt Factory to make our Harby Spirit Wear. Simply click the link below to see the selection and order. Once the online store closes, it takes about 2 weeks for the products to be created and then shipped to campus. The front desk won't be collecting any money for spirit wear, it is all done through the online shop.
