About Harrison High School
Harrison High School complements its neighbor West Lafayette by offering a larger-school experience with outstanding academic outcomes. Located in the Tippecanoe School Corporation, Harrison draws from a broader community while still benefiting from the intellectual culture that Purdue University creates in the region.
The STEM programs at Harrison are among the best in Indiana. The school's Project Lead the Way engineering pathway is one of the most established in the state, and its science olympiad and academic teams regularly place at state competitions. Computer science offerings have expanded to meet growing student interest, and the school's math department produces students who are exceptionally well-prepared for college-level coursework.
Harrison fields competitive athletic programs across a wide range of sports. The football, basketball, and track teams compete at the highest level in the North Central Conference, and the school's tennis and swimming programs regularly advance athletes to state competition. Harrison's size gives it the depth of talent to field competitive teams while still maintaining a community feel.
The Purdue corridor — encompassing both West Lafayette and Harrison — represents one of the strongest public education ecosystems in Indiana. Harrison proves that the intellectual culture radiating from a major research university elevates not just one school but an entire community. Graduates leave Harrison with the analytical skills and competitive drive to succeed in engineering, science, business, and beyond.
