Harriman City Schools Alumni Association

Harriman City Schools Alumni Association We are the alumni of former Harriman City School system located in Harriman, Tennessee. and the East Tennessee Land Company. Harriman's mascot is the Blue Devil.

Until 1999, Harriman High School was part of the separate Harriman City School System, which was a legacy of the city's founding in the late nineteenth century as a planned community and "utopia" by temperance movement leaders from the northeastern U.S. Harriman High came under the authority of the Roane County School System when taxpayers voted to stop paying for a separate system in 1999. Many t

hink this vote occurred in 1998 or 2004 but clearly this isn't the case. Three previous votes on the topic had failed to surrender the system. Proponents of Harriman's separate system claimed the city long had better schools than its county neighbors; those in favor of surrender argued that the town's vanishing industrial base made paying for separate schools impractical. Harriman's campus is located at the intersection of Georgia and Roane Streets and its athletic teams compete in Richard Pickell Gymnasium, on Wallace-Black Field, and Sharieffa Barksdale Track. Reportedly, an early member of the school board was an alumnus of Duke University, and used his alma mater's nickname for Harriman. The Blue Devil's historical rivals are the Yellow Jackets from Roane County High School in Kingston and the two share one of East Tennessee's oldest football rivalriesβ€”with the game traditionally played the first week of the season. The games are often closely fought, although the much larger Kingston school has won every meeting since 1992. Harriman also has a long-standing rivalry with Rockwood High School. The two schools have played each other in football every year since 1921, reportedly the longest continuous series in Tennessee. Source: Wikipedia

If you shop with us very much, you've heard me say, "Think about what you have in your closet that you can wear with this piece you love". Here is the perfect example of this. The top pairs perfectly with the refashioned jeans from Second Story by Lottie J. If you haven't stopped in to check out the lovelies from Second Story, you're missing out on some cute finds, just saying. πŸ˜† Open Tues thru Saturday, 505 N. Roane Street, downtown Harriman.

At our recent meeting of the Harriman City Schools Alumni Association, members present voted to provide $250 to each teacher at Harriman High School and Harriman Middle School for their new school β€œwish list.” Those present felt it is important to support our teachers as well as the students. A process was worked out with the school principals to allow teachers access to the funds. We wish the Harriman teachers and students a great new school year!
