Linda G. Dwight - Superintendent, Harvard Public Schools

Welcome to our website!

It is my pleasure to serve as the Superintendent of Schools in Harvard, MA. Our district uses our Vision Statement as a guiding document for decision making and future planning. The part of the Vision that focuses us on the students' balancing academic achievement with personal well-being encourages us to maintain the traditional rigor while including new health and wellness options and infusing technology throughout the curriculum. We continue to evaluate every aspect of our district to ensure that we are moving closer to our vision of success.

In Spring 2018, residents voted to support the construction of the new Elementary School. The School Building Committee and Design Team have been working hard to refine and develop the design. The latest VR model can be seen at https://yulio.com/YyH5dGuskH. This is best viewed on a tablet or phone or with Virtual Reality goggles.

As always, all are welcome to attend SBC meetings, which are posted on the town website.

Groundbreaking started in April 2019 with completion projected for Fall of 2021.
