Harmony Public Schools has received BBB rating again by Standard & Poor's in a report dated March 16th 2012. The report stated that the outlook of the Harmony Public Schools is stable. BBB rating is the highest possible rating for a charter school operator to receive. Dr. Soner Tarim, the Superintendent of Harmony Public Schools, said: "In the midst of national and global financial instability, Harmony Public Schools System has demonstrated its ability to remain financially stable through fiscally sound organization and management. Renewing our BBB rating along with a stable outlook will enable us to save thousands of dollars which can then be used to further advance the efforts of our students, teachers, and staff members".

We are proud to be a participant in such an accredited program, and to be representing our Harmony school. This year our advisor Mrs. Hauser has spoken with, and passed out information/applications to students who qualified and/or were nominated by our staff to represent HSE Endeavor this year. All applications were received back and are currently being processed. Students who were accepted into the program will be receiving an acceptance letter sometime this month. Students accepted had to qualify by having an accumulated GPA of 3.6, have leadership, citizen ship, character, and service. To learn more, or to view our schools listing online, please visit: http://www.nhs.us/ , Scroll down to the bottom on the left hand side and select "School Search".

CRLP program is designed to prepare our selective students to these top universities called IVY League Schools. These schools prepare future's leaders. When we check their admission process we see that they require top academic success with perfect SAT scores, voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness and expedition/exploration.
CRLP program will be base on our volunteer teachers mentoring. We will have limited space for this all year program. We encourage our students and parents to not miss this big opportunity and enroll this program.

In Robotics, we aim to strengthen the student's skills in Technology and the world around us by stimulating their minds with a variety of competitions, each one having a specific goal, and a special project which focuses on helping to improve the environment.

As a child grows up, they will need to have more contact with groups of people to work with. They will have to use their teamwork skills. That is what Robotics is also about. We test the student's ability to work with others in a team, and then take that skill to the test in competitions, which will be very challenging.

Basically, Robotics is all about strengthening the student's sense of teamwork, their skills in Technology and the Environment, and their skills in building, designing, and programming

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/
