2025-2026 School Year

To help ensure our 8th grade learners have a smooth transition to Harrisburg Freshmen Academy, we are providing the following opportunities for learners and parents/guardians. Our hope is that between pre-registration, pathway presentations with our principals, and registration with our high school counselors, we will thoroughly explain and help 8th grade learners and parents/guardians make the right choice of pathways and programs offered at the Freshmen Academy.
