Harrison enjoyed a successful first day back in action after the long holiday. The Husky volleyball team clinched the league title in a thrilling five-set match with Fox Lane, while Harrison won in field hockey as well as girl’s swimming.

The town continues to prepare for the Saturday showdown with Rye and today’s theme for the high school students’ spirit week is “Prep for Rye”. The student body will show their support for the Husky Football team by wearing “preppy” clothing to school.

Students, let’s see your best pictures!
