[edit] History
Harvard opened as Harvard Street School on September 18, 1898, serving the South-End area of the Houston Heights.[3] The school received a main brick structure in 1912. In 1921 the school became a part of the Houston Independent School District. In 1980 the brick structure was demolished and the school received a new addition.[4]
The school was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2008.[5][6]
In Spring 2009 the school was closed during the swine flu outbreak.[7]
[edit] School uniforms
Harvard Elementary School requires its students to wear school uniforms.[8] The Texas Education Agency specified that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform [9]; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.
[edit] Feeder patterns
People zoned to Harvard Elementary School are also zoned to Hogg Middle School and Reagan High School.[1][10][11]
