We are currently targeting small groups. Groups can range from 2 students to 6 students max.

The required supplies needed for next year varies depends on the classes and teachers. Teachers share their supply needs for specific classes on their syllabus at the beginning of the year. Therefore, there are no mandatory supplies to bring at orientation or the first day of school. Teachers, generally, are in need of facial tissues, dry erase markers, hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes in their classrooms so you are requested to purchase these items in advance.

Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to Harmony School of Ingenuity. We are looking forward to having you become a part of our STEM-focused academy with a unified vision of making our students College Ready. With an aim to make your transition smoother, we would like to invite you to attend a Parent-Student session on Tuesday, July 16th. The counselors will be sharing information regarding Elective course(/s)offered, and your child will be asked to chose their courses on this day. Thus, kindly mark this day on your calendar. The details are:
4:30 pm-5 pm on July 16th: Grade 6th, 7th & 8th
5:00 pm-5:30 pm on July 16th: High school students
“We are very happy to continue to reward our staff for their dedication to excellence,” said Fatih Ay, CEO of Harmony Public Schools. “Every year our 34,000 plus students consistently exceed state education standards. Our teacher’s hard work is recognized annually by major publications, such as US News Best High Schools, and noted children’s advocacy groups.”
In addition to a base salary increase of between $3,500 & $5,000, teachers will be awarded a stipend of $1,000 if they have between 5 and 9 years of classroom experience. Those with more than 10 years’ experience will receive $2,000. “We see this as an investment not only in our teachers but in our students as well,” Ay said.
The new salary schedule follows Governor Greg Abbott’s signing of the $11.5 Billion school finance reform package. Harmony chose to target additional funding into pay & benefits for teachers and staff. These increases have been presented to the HPS Board of Directors, and will be up for approval after receiving regulations from TEA.
