In 1997, a group of dedicated child psychiatrists in Houston recognized a crucial need for a quality early-intervention program for children.

The Harris School provides specialized therapeutic education for
elementary school children facing social and emotional difficulties, empowering children and families with skills to overcome challenging behaviors and achieve academic success. United by a vision to support young minds, they founded The Harris School (THS), named in honor of Dr. Hunter Harris, a pioneering physician in children's me

We are almost there! 💚🧡

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our THS community, we have raised just under $600,000 toward our $775,000 Build Our Burrow goal, approximately 77% of the way there.

In May alone, our parent and alumni community raised $158,450 and fully achieved the May Match.

We are also celebrating generous support from the Fondren Foundation, Houston Junior Forum, and The Garden Club of Houston — helping us build and improve spaces where students feel safe, supported, understood, and ready to grow.

Exciting things are happening at THS because of this community.

Help us keep building our burrow together. Link in bio to support the campaign.

There is something incredibly special about watching our students grow, and even more special when they come back to give back!

This summer, we were thrilled to welcome THS alumna Ava as a volunteer at Summer Camp! Ava spent time helping our campers, supporting activities, and being a positive role model for our students.

Seeing former students return to our community is a wonderful reminder that THS is more than a school—it’s a family. We are so proud of the young woman Ava has become and grateful for the time she shared with us this summer.

Thank you, Ava, for your kindness, enthusiasm, and willingness to help make Summer Camp a great experience for our campers. We loved having you back on campus! 💚

Thank You, Houston Junior Forum!

We are incredibly grateful to for their generous $10,000 grant to support the renovation of our Sensory Room.

This space plays an important role in helping our students develop self-regulation skills, manage emotions, and feel ready to learn. Thanks to this gift, we can create an even more supportive and therapeutic environment for the children we serve.

Thank you for investing in our students and our mission! 🦔💚

Our first ever Farmers Market at THS was a huge success! 🌿💛

We are so proud of our students and staff, who worked incredibly hard to create some truly amazing handmade items, treats, and projects. From planning and creating to selling and supporting one another, this event was such a beautiful example of our community coming together. ✨

We can’t wait for next year’s market already!

Last week, we had not one, but two very special reasons to celebrate 💚

It was Administrative Professionals Day and Ms. Rachel’s 5th year at THS!

Rachel is the heart of our front office, the calm in the chaos, and our go-to for just about everything (including the occasional “school nurse” moment!) She brings warmth, humor, and unwavering support to our students, families, and staff every single day.

We are so lucky to have her as part of our community—thank you, Ms. Rachel, for all that you do and for the love you bring to THS. Here’s to many more years! ✨🦔

We’ve made our current spaces work, because our students matter more than the building.

But they deserve more than “making do.”

The Burrow will allow us to create spaces intentionally designed for regulation, connection, and growth.

This is how we continue to support every child, and every family, who walks through our doors.

Every child deserves a place where they are truly understood.

At The Harris School, we see beyond behaviors—we see the story, the need, and the potential.

This video captures what makes our community so special: connection, growth, and the belief that every child can thrive with the right support.

We’re not your last hope… we’re your first.

Every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and supported.

At The Harris School, that’s what we strive to create every day.
But as we grow, our space is no longer enough to meet the needs of our students.

Build Our Burrow is our next step, creating spaces where children can regulate, move, and truly thrive.

We’ve raised $334,025 so far, and we are so grateful 💚

It’s officially KWESI DAY at The Harris School! 🎉

20 years. Countless students. Endless support. And more big belly laughs than we could ever count.

Kwesi, our amazing Assistant Principal, has been the calm in the chaos, the voice of reason, and the one who somehow keeps us all smiling….even on the toughest days.

We truly don’t know what we’d do without you.

Here’s to 20 incredible years—and many more ahead (because we’re not letting you go anywhere 😉).
