It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of former Emge Principal, Dr. John Griffith. Dr. Griffith served as Harmony and Emge’s Assistant Principal in 2017-18 and Emge’s Principal from 2018-2021. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
Due to the winter storm forecasted for the next two days, Harmony District 175 will utilize E-Learning days on Wednesday, February 2 and Thursday, February 3. A decision on whether students will return to school or remain in E Learning on Friday, February 4 will be made on Thursday afternoon. Please stay safe and warm.

Huge shout out to our cafeteria for packing extra breakfasts and lunches to send home with students before the winter weather hits! #weareharmony

Dear Harmony-Emge SD 175,
Due to the number of students currently quarantined, this Friday, January 14th - and each Friday in January - Harmony-Emge will implement a one-hour early release schedule (same times as Wednesday release times). This early release will allow our teachers and staff to more effectively plan and respond to our student needs in light of the ever-changing COVID-19 conditions.
The following dates will be a one- hour early release (Harmony and Emge 1:35pm, Ellis 2:30pm): January 14, 2022, January 21, 2022, January 28, 2022.
Thank you for your understanding and support during these difficult times,
Mrs. Lunz and Mrs. Kraemer
