Project Based Learning is incorporated at all levels of instruction. The mathematics focus is a blend of traditional math and inquiry at all instructional levels.
Harper Creek Community Schools is committed to daily academic intervention opportunities as well as extension opportunities for K – 12 students, both of which are conducted during the school day. Additional academic support is provided before and after school at the various buildings on building set schedules. Integration of technology and 21st learning skills are a focus at both the building and district levels. In regards to extracurricular activities, Harper Creek Community Schools has active vocal and instrumental music programs, a growing drama department, a very successful DECA program, and a full slate of athletic opportunities.
