HARRISON SCHOOL DISTRICT TWO
1060 Harrison Road
Colorado Springs, CO 80906
Administrative Office 579-2000
Superintendent: Vic Meyers
On the Web
www.harrison.k12.co.us
BOUNDARIES: Located south of downtown Colorado Springs. A detailed map of the
district is available on its web site.
NEXT YEAR: Harrison School District Two will be opening Fox Meadow Middle School
in place of Gorman Middle School this year. Over the next three years, focuses
on science, mathematics, technology, character education and leadership will be
built into the intense curriculum at Fox Meadow. The science and technology
magnet program and its embedded gifted and talented program will be in full
swing by the fall of 2007. The new school will continue the strong reading and
writing efforts that have resulted in substantial literacy gains for ethnic
minorities at Gorman. Meanwhile, construction is underway on Mountain Vista
Community School for grades K-8 with the school scheduled to open in August
2005. In addition, the district adopted a Core Reading Program for all 14
elementary schools, ensuring that students transferring within the district
experience little to no disruption in learning. The curriculum implementation
has been supported by 15 Elementary Instructional Resource Teachers who provide
leadership and specialized support to classroom teachers. HSD2 uses the Turnleaf
Data Mining System, embedded staff development, and instructional resource
coaches to improve teaching and learning. With a loss in revenue due to the
State Finance Act, the district adjusted its budget parameters to maintain class
sizes, one of the districts priorities. Thus, non-salary expenditures are
reduced by approximately 8 percent. This also addresses the Board of Educations
commitment to their long-term philosophy of no reduction in staff. The HSD2
Board of Education and staff continue to stand behind the districts philosophy
of serving the needs of the whole child they are more than just a score.
