Harper Creek Community Schools invites all community members to an important district event on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at 5:30 PM in the Harper Creek High School Media Center. The evening will focus on sharing updates, strengthening communication, and building a shared understanding of the work happening across the district.
Attendees will receive information on School of Choice, the use of casino revenue and the long‑range Facility Master Plan that guides improvements to learning environments. Superintendent Ridgeway looks forward to welcoming residents, providing clear updates and answering questions from the community. This event is intended to ensure that families and community members feel knowledgeable and confident about the district’s direction.
