Mr. Drew Banks is joining the High School faculty as an Intervention Specialist. He will be working with 9th graders with IEPs in both English and Math. Mr. Banks worked for Harrison Junior School for the past three years, and is happy to be joining the High School. Drew is a Harrison alumni, and he says that the best part about working at Harrison High School is the people he gets to work with. “Being able to work alongside some of the teachers I had in high school was a little weird at first, but makes my job so much more fun,” Mr. Banks said. “There are a lot of great things going on here at the High School, and I am very fortunate to be a part of it.” Mr. Banks also added that he is indisputably the “best-looking Banks to walk the halls of Harrison High School.” The Harrison Pawprint was unable to confirm or deny this allegation.
