Harwood Union High School is a mid-sized public secondary school located in South Duxbury, Vermont. As a member of the Washington West Supervisory Union, the school serves the towns of Duxbury, Fayston, Moretown, Waitsfield, Warren, and Waterbury.[4] The institution is also referred to as "Harwood UHSD #19."

History and overview

Ground broke in 1964 for the construction of Harwood High School. Situated in South Duxbury, the school was built on a {{convert|20|acre|m2|sing=on}} plot of land and cost approximately $1.6 million to build. Construction was completed in early 1966 and the doors opened for the 1966-1967 school year. Harwood is named after Dr. Charles Harwood, a local physician who served at the births of a large number of the schools original students. Harwood is a union high school, meaning it serves multiple towns. These towns are Waitsfield, Warren, Fayston, Moretown, Duxbury Waterbury and Waterbury Center for the High School and Waitsfield, Warren, Fayston and Moretown for the middle school. In 1997, Harwood underwent a $7.2 million renovation in order to modernize its facilities as well as add a dedicated Middle School wing of the school. These renovations included a new exterior design featuring a curved front roof meant to look like a turning page. Notably, Harwood began a compost program for its student in the school year of 2011-2012 to help the environment.

Students and sports

Harwood serves approximately 750 High School students and 150 Middle School students. The school falls into the Vermont Principals' Association Division 2 for all sports (as of 2007).

The Boys' and Girls' Cross Country teams won the 2009 state championships sending both teams to New Englands. Girls' Cross Country were 2010 and 2011 State Champions. The Girls' soccer team finished as state runners up in 2009 and took home the Championship in 2010. The Girls' Field Hockey team has also won three straight championships, 2010-2012.

In October 2016, Harwood students Mary Harris, Cyrus Zschau, Liam Hale, and Eli Brookens were killed in a head on traffic collision. In ensuing days the slogan "Harwood Strong" was created as a reaction to the untimely deaths of the students.[5] Schools across Vermont sent flowers and notes of condolence to Harwood, and a few days after the crash South Burlington High School student's even wore black and gold as a show of support for grieving Harwood students.[6]
