New schools

Construction of a new Harrison High School began in January, 2005, and was completed in the summer of 2007 for the 2007-2008 school year. The new Harrison High School is located at the intersection of Kingsland Avenue and Hamilton Street on the former site of Clayton Container. A new stadium was constructed along with the school building. It includes a football/soccer field, baseball diamond, softball diamond, track around the fields, and 3 tennis courts. Spaces for the high school include thirty general classrooms, four special education classrooms, two classrooms for small group instruction, two gymnasiums, a dance/aerobics studio, instrumental/vocal music room, cafeteria, auditorium, media center, science labs, computer room, and faculty spaces.

The renovation of the current Harrison High School to become the new Washington Middle School has been put on hold indefinitely due to the lack of funding due to the scandal involving the New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation (NJSCC) and mismanagement of funds.
