Hawk Pride News
G W Harby Junior High - May 18, 2024
Hawk Fest is coming Thursday, May 23rd!
On Thursday, our students will participate in Hawkfest! This field day will be filled with fun, snacks, and time with their classmates. While students will be given snow cones, popsicles, and waters, they will also have the opportunity to purchase snacks (cash app or regular cash) from the Hawk PTO during their rotations. Students will still need to be in dress code, but will be able to wear hats and sun glasses. All students should apply their sunscreen at home due to students with allergies being on campus. It would be good if students brought a water bottle or sports drink with them to stay hydrated.
Mrs. Lawson is transitioning into a District Leadership Role!
For the last five years, Mrs. Lawson has served Harby Jr High as principal. She strategically mapped out a plan that grew the campus's State Academic Rating by two letter grades, doubled staff satisfaction on culture surveys, and grew campus leaders that resulted in district recognition. Harby Jr High has been blessed by her leadership.
Mrs. Lawson has begun the process of transitioning into a new role within Alvin ISD. She is excited to serve as the Director of Special Education for Alvin ISD. She will continue to be on campus through the end of the school year for any parent or community member that would like to give her some well wishes.
Mr. Teal is Harby Jr High's New Principal!
At this past Tuesday's Alvin ISD School Board meeting, Mr. Teal was named as the new principal of Harby Jr. High. For the past six years, Mr. Teal has served Harby Jr High as an Assistant Principal. Mr. Teal is excited to continuing the vision of instilling a culture of mastery in students.
