District Program

There are 51 different languages represented in the Harrison School District Two CLDE Program. Spanish is the dominant language of all Multilingual Learners (MLs) at 93%.

The top six home languages are Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Dari (Faris, Eastern), Arabic, and Swahili.

We provide language services to over 1000 active NEP/LEP students and oversee over 490 ELL Monitor students.

ML students make up about 27% of the total district enrollment.
