Harrington staff members nominate students for our WATCH recognition ceremonies. The vision of this program is building a sense of belonging and school community with expectations of doing what is right and owning your choices.

9/11 MONUMENT DEDICATION
Former Harrington Middle School student, Audrey C., dedicated a September 11th Memorial at the school on Friday, September 10th. The idea to create a monument honoring victims and heroes of September 11 was originally conceived in her 8th grade social studies class with Mrs. Rotella. Audrey was tasked with detailing a plan to design a commemorative tribute to the victims of September 11th. In her plan, she envisioned a memorial to be displayed at Harrington Middle School for future students, staff, and other community members to appreciate. That vision came to a reality four years later as Audrey proudly stands with her completed monument. Her seventh social studies teacher, Dr. Mortimer, helped in writing a grant from the Mount Laurel Education Association to receive funding that ultimately paid for her monument.
