The Harrison Street Elementary School traces its roots back to 1873 when the Sunbury School District consolidated one-room schools into the brick building on Harrison Street. Through its history this building has been a K-12 building, an elementary, an intermediate school, and an 8th grade building. With the opening of the new high school in 1991, it became Harrison Street Elementary. The school serves students in grades K-5. Outstanding programs include Reading Intervention, Wall of Fame, Weather Station, Solar Panel, and many outdoor education activities. The extracurricular events offer 2 musicals per year, scouts and Destination Imagination.
