Amy Crews Memorial Fund
The Amy Crews Memorial fund was created in 1991 when Amy, a Harrison dancer, died in an automobile accident during her senior year. As a way of keeping Amy's spark alive, funds were contributed to provide financial support to students whose family find it a hardship to afford some of the necessities of Harrison - items such as dance shoes, costume pieces, music or art supplies.

 

Chairs of Recognition
Honor a favorite student, teacher, friend or family member with a Chair of Recognition in their honor.  Each Chair of Recognition in the Harrison Auditorium is labeled with a brass plate engraved with your sentiments. Funds raised through the donations are used for an endowment fund, scholarships and other needs to enhance students' arts education.

Thank you!
