Orange Grove Middle School

Harelson is a fantastic school choice, with just the right mix of oversight, rigor, extra-curricular activities, and absolute love for the kids as a whole. In my experience, my daughter had fantastic teachers the entire time she was there and was more than prepared to transition to middle school. Its really nice that the middle school is right next door, so as the kids grow they have opportunity to interact (at times) with the other campus and mentor students to see their progression. Harelson is great at encouraging character growth, kindness, and responsibility through positive reinforcement. However, they are well equipped to handle issues as they arise and they do a great job. The principal is very professional, highly involved, and easy to talk to, as he should be. He has a great rapport with the teachers and students.

2017-2018 began with a new administration, which is very organized and completely different than the previous administration.

Very positive strong Catholic community lead by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart. I wouldn't want my grandchildren anywhere else in Tucson.

I am a grandmother of Alexander and Naila Tapia. I am very pleased with school I really love it the teachers are great and caring... the only thing I ask myself is why my grandchildren not get any certificates I see most of the kids getting certificates it is because??? Why is the problem? Kindly. Gloria Benavidez
