Harrison School District 2 operates a large K-12 portfolio (9 elementary, 4 K-8, 2 middle, 2 high schools, plus charter and online academies) with active hiring weighted heavily toward education roles (141 of 177 open positions). The hiring velocity and project list reveal a district in expansion mode—scaling STEAM and career-connected learning while building industry partnerships—but internal pain points center on foundational outcomes: student literacy, behavioral support, and attendance, suggesting operational friction in translating new program initiatives into measurable achievement gains.
Notable leadership hires: Head Coach, Post-Secondary Readiness Director, Curriculum Director, Softball Head Coach
