Click here to view the whimisical "Special Edition" March 29 Beachcomber that was on display at this year's auction.  Our thanks to Leslie Brown and The Beachcomber for this fun look at Toby and the history of The Harbor School. (It's a large file - 4 Mbytes - but worth the wait!)

Graduation will be June 18th at Camp Burton Lodge at 6pm.  Watch for additional information coming soon. 

The Harbor School is pleased to introduce Steve Edele as our new Head of School. Steve will take the helm July 1, 2008 when founding Headmaster Toby Welch steps down after 12 dedicated years of leadership. Steve brings to THS a wealth of independent school experience, solid leadership skills and strong academic credentials. He has tremendous energy and a contagious enthusiasm for education. Steve's long career in independent schools across the country gives him the perspective and experience necessary to nurture the vision that Toby created, and to confidently steer THS into its next stage of growth.

A significant donation by a local law firm will allow THS to expand the student computer facility substantially.

In November, Stoel Rives, LLP donated five complete Dell Optiplex GX270 computer systems, including monitors, keyboards, and mice.  The donated computers are equal to or slightly better in performance than the existing units in the student computer lab, with 2.8 GHz processors, LCD flat-screen monitors, and Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces. 

Every year The Harbor School begins with each division taking a trip to Turtlehead Farm on Orcas Island. These trips are designed to build community, to set expectations, and to let students and teachers learn to know each other better.
