Our Purpose
At Harbins Elementary School, we will provide programming that will challenge our gifted students to be critical problem solvers, think creatively, identify and solve real-world problems, conduct thoughtful research/exploration, and develop and deliver a variety of authentic products that demonstrate understanding in order to be successful in their future endeavors. We strive to provide a rigorous academic environment specifically designed to meet the unique needs of gifted and high ability students to produce self-directed, life-long learners who will become productive citizens.
