Encourage Students to Complete Schoolwork Each Day
HCE Families -- Please encourage your students to keep up with their school work. Students in Kindergarten through 4th Grade have all been given packets of work to complete before returning to school. Students in Grades 5 through 8 have been given packets but are also given new assignments via their school email accounts. The support of our families, working with their children and our teachers, will keep our students learning. Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to visit our website. I hope you can find all the information that relates to enrollment, answer any questions you may have, or find out something about our school. Harrisburg Catholic Elementary was created out of Holy Family and Cathedral Consolidated Schools to bring the message of Jesus Christ to the children of our school on a daily basis through both word and action. Our students are challenged academically on a daily basis by a dedicated and highly qualified staff of individuals who work together to better each child that is enrolled in our school. -- Mr. David Rushinski, Principal
