Harmony staff, teachers, and administrators have spent countless of hours preparing our students for college and each year approximately 85% of our graduating class enrolled in a post-secondary institution.
But, despite these impressive enrollment numbers, far too many of our low income and first-time college students drop out as they hit financial and circumstantial barriers such as the cost of attending college, that has increased by 36% in the last 10 years. Harmony Public Schools has 5,033 graduates to date and is projected to have 11,686 graduates by 2020, current funding sources are unable to meet even the current demands of these programs. Clearly, additional financial support is required.
We are asking our Harmony community to consider going beyond educational efforts, providing even greater assistance to our graduates through generous Harmony Giving Day contributions to the Harmony College Fund. All your donations will go towards helping our Harmony graduates to complete their higher education dreams and achieve their career aspirations by providing additional scholarships and direct college and career support services.
Let’s come together to reach our target of raising $50,000 on our first ever giving day.
Thank you for your generosity.

We’re raising money to provide scholarships for our alumni who are in financial need; so that they can successfully complete their college education. One day, your child will benefit from many meaningful services and opportunities.
Harmony College Fund will support our students in financial, academic and emotional areas with scholarships, mentoring, internship programs and other services.
Donations can be made online at alumni.harmonytx.org on November 28th or you can write donation check payable to “Harmony Public Schools – Harmony College Fund”. You can leave it at your child’s campus to district college and career coordinator attention or mail to HPS central office to the attention of Berkan Kaya at College and Career Success Office.
