"I love the art school environment," states Ms. Chambers. "All stakeholders, including students, parents, teachers, administrators and the community, give so much of themselves to make Harrison an excellent place for learning. The students are a joy to work with. They are artistic, creative, and academically inclined."

"Because of the size of the school, I handle all of the responsibilities related to college and career planning as well as the traditional duties of the school counselor," she says. "I enjoy being able to work with students and parents consecutively throughout their high school years. The building of relationships is very important to me."

SENIORS:
