One interesting fact about Harrison: “I have a three-legged dog.”
Attending school in fall 2021: “Williams College. Undecided.”
How do you plan to use your scholarship funds? “Tuition.”
What parts of high school are you most proud of? “I am most proud of how I was able to balance academics, athletics, and outside responsibilities while still having free time to spend with friends and family. I certainly felt overwhelmed at times, but I never gave up and completed all my work as best as I could.”
What Harrison is most looking forward to in his college career: “I am most excited to live in a new place with new people. I’ve lived in the same town and had the same friends my whole childhood, all of which I love, but I can’t wait to experience the freedom of college with new friends who are going through such a similar situation.”
