School History
Harrisville Elementary School
Our school was opened in 1964. Prior to
the opening of our current facility, H.E.S. was housed in what later was
used as the Ritchie County Board of Education offices. Over one hundred
years old, it currently is the General Thomas Harris Museum.

Our school has had several additions as
enrollment needs warranted more classrooms. With the addition of
full-time Pre-Kindergarten several years ago, and the need for more
space, our latest addition was a portable classroom building.
Visitor Information
All visitors are required to check in at
the school office which is located just inside the main entrance on the
left. In consideration of student safety, parents are asked to leave
students at the right entrance to the gymnasium in the mornings.
Teachers on bus duty will be there to supervise the children. Also,
students who want to eat breakfast should be at school by 7:45 a.m.,
unless they are riding a bus that arrives later. Parents who wish to
pick their students up after school may do so at 2:45 p.m. in the
cafeteria. If you need to pick your child up prior to this time, you
must sign him/her out in the office.
Parking is very limited. All numbered parking spaces are assigned to
faculty and staff members. At no time is
parking permitted on the bus circle, for safety reasons. Visitors are
asked to park in unnumbered areas, or for limited times, in the back row
of the grocery store lot closest to our school.
