| In our thoughts and prayers… |
On behalf of the students, teachers, staff, and administrators at Harmony Public Schools, we extend our deepest condolences to those impacted by the terrible storms yesterday.
The devastation and destruction from the storms in Oklahoma is unimaginable. Let us all stand together in support of the victims, families, community members and business owners of Moore, OK and Oklahoma City and let them know they are not alone.
Look for more information in the coming days as to how our campuses will be coordinating support efforts to help those affected by the storms.

| Four Harmony Campuses Made into the Challenge Index |
|
Washington Post has announced its Most Challenging High Schools list of 2012. Four Harmony high schools made the Challenge Index and three of them in the top 100 out of 1900 schools in the list.
The Challenge Index of Washington Post ranks high schools since 1998 based on the student achievement on IB, AP, and college level tests (SAT, ACT, etc.) and graduation rates. The index score is the number of college-level tests given at a school in 2011 divided by the number of graduates that year. Also noted are the percentage of students who come from families that qualify for lunch subsidies (Subs. lunch) and the percentage of graduates who passed at least one college-level test during their high school career, called equity and excellence, (E&E). A (P) next to the school's name denotes a private school.
See the detailed list here.

| Letter to Key Stakeholders Regarding The New York Times Article |
|
From Superintendent Dr. Soner Tarim To the Harmony Public Schools Community: A disappointing article on charter schools in this week's New York Times attempts to put Harmony Public Schools in Texas in a context that is not accurate, necessitating this brief response. Many of us at Harmony Schools cooperated extensively with the Times on this story over the last several months, providing documents, interviews, tours and dozens of detailed responses to specific questions in good faith. But, as sometimes happens, the end result was not entirely what we had hoped. See the rest of Dr. Soner Tarim's response here: http://harmonytx.org/news/122/letter-to-stakeholders-on-ny-times-article/
