Meet Our Principal

Welcome to Harvard Performance High School!

At Harvard Performance High School, we strive to make learning both engaging and fun. I have been a part of this wonderful school for the past five years, and I feel very fortunate to serve as principal. Every day I am inspired by our incredible students, our motivated and dedicated staff, and the supportive parents who partner with us to create an environment that encourages learning through innovative and collaborative methods and activities.

Our administration and staff are highly committed to providing the most rewarding education possible and ensuring that learning is a truly enjoyable experience. Your child’s education is our top priority, and we look forward to working with you to make their educational journey a positive and successful one.

Academically, our approach is data-driven with differentiated instruction and a strong focus on treating students as individuals—recognizing their unique strengths while helping them build and improve essential skills. We are also excited to announce that Harvard Performance is now offering 9th grade, giving students the opportunity to continue receiving support from our staff, to be challenged academically, and to be inspired as we work toward building a culture of excellence.

Parent involvement is one of the most important factors in student success, and at Harvard Performance it can take many forms. This includes ensuring your child arrives at school every day on time, monitoring homework Monday through Thursday, staying informed about progress and grades, and encouraging your child to read daily. These habits not only strengthen skills and vocabulary but also reinforce the importance of lifelong learning.

Together, we can create an exceptional learning community that prepares our students for a bright and successful future.

Warm regards,

Linda Harris
Principal, Harvard Performance High School
