Harrington High School Class of 2020 Graduation!
The Harrington High School Class of 2020 Graduation Ceremony will be live-streamed on the Harrington School District Website (harringtonsd.org) tomorrow, Thursday June 11th at 6:00PM. The live-stream can be viewed from the comfort of your home or any location you choose. Community members may view the live-stream from the Harrington School parking lot and have the additional enjoyment of seeing the graduates walk outside in their caps and gowns. Because of state issued Covid-19 social distancing guidelines, the only participants allowed in the Harrington School gym to see the ceremony in person are the graduates, their short list of invited guests, and a small number of Harrington School faculty, staff, and other individuals directly involved with running the ceremony. We hope you enjoy the graduation ceremony as it is live-streamed, and we are sorry that we cannot accommodate any other individuals at the live ceremony.

Attention Students, Parents, and Community Members.
After jointly consulting with the Lincoln County Health Department, Lincoln County Road Department and legal counsel, the administration from Davenport, Harrington and Reardan-Edwall school has made the decision that the school districts are no longer sponsoring the 2020 Prom.

We must hold the safety and well-being of our students as our top priority. We appreciate your support as we navigate this difficult time. This is from the Administration of Davenport, Harrington, and Reardan-Edwall School Districts. Thank you.
