HARRISBURG HIGH SCHOOL

Featured pictures

Welcome

Hi! My name is Mrs. Tracy Kern and I’m in my twelvth year of teaching family and consumer sciences at Harrisburg High School in Harrisburg, South Dakota. I love teaching and find that every day is a new adventure.
   I had an influential home economics teacher in high school that showed me the possibilities with Future Homemakers of America. I loved it! I was able to travel the country while gaining endless leadership skills. This experience prompted me to pursue a career in family and consumer sciences education.
   I currently teach five classes at Harrisburg School District, and I am the advisor for the Harrisburg Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America.
