List reflects donations recorded as of October 12, 2011.

Please help us by contributing whatever you feel you can afford.

General Donations provide student scholarships in the arts, faculty enrichment programs, visits from renowned guest artists, and honors recognition events, as well as support for the school-wide musical.

Amy Crews Memorial Fund
The Amy Crews Memorial fund was created in 1991 when Amy, a Harrison dancer, died in an automobile accident during her senior year. As a way of keeping Amy's spark alive, funds were contributed to provide financial support to students whose family find it a hardship to afford some of the necessities of Harrison - items such as dance shoes, costume pieces, music or art supplies.

Chairs of Recognition
Honor a favorite student, teacher, friend or family member with a Chair of Recognition in their honor.  Each Chair of Recognition in the Harrison Auditorium is labeled with a brass plate engraved with your sentiments. Funds raised through the donations are used for an endowment fund, scholarships and other needs to enhance students' arts education.
