Harper's Unsung Heroes - Stefanie Howard

Stefanie attended Harper Creek Schools starting in 1st Grade, all the way through high school graduation. She developed a love for school as a young student at Beadle Lake Elementary. Upon graduation, she started at MSU with hopes of earning a marketing degree, but this didn’t last long. She quickly switched her focus to education. Her teaching career began in Houston, but she would eventually return home.

Harper's Unsung Hero - Matt Bilger

Matt grew up in the Bilger family, the second of four children. He was different than his siblings, the first in his family to participate in athletics. Through these differences, Matt has been able to find his own niche as a teacher and a coach. He has developed a passion for his career, making an impact on current and former Harper Creek students.

Harper's Unsung Hero - Karen Westlake

Karen spent her career seeing the world working in the airline industry. The experiences as an airline attendant provided a lifetime of memories. Looking for an opportunity to get out of the house each day, a few decades after retiring, Karen joined the Harper Creek family a year ago as a lunch and recess aide.

Directions

Stop the Silence. Help end the Violence.

All of us can be the eyes and ears of the community and ensure that our children are safe. I encourage everyone—students, staff, parents, and community members— to report potentially harmful or criminal acts using OK2SAY.

Annual Education Report

The Annual Education Report (AER) provides key information about the educational progress on the complex reporting of information required by federal and state laws. The reports contain information about student assessment, accountability, and teacher quality. We have three AERs available to parents and the community. Below is a list of each school with a link to its AER letter and data.
