Harrison High School issued the following announcement on Apr. 12. 

The Georgia Department of Education and State Superintendent Richard Woods recently recognized schools across the state for Advanced Placement Honor Schools. We have listed Harrison's categories below. This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our students and teachers.
