Harmony Public Schools is a network of PK-12 college preparatory public charter schools across Texas. For almost two decades, our schools have provided students from under-served communities the opportunity to excel in their studies in a small classroom environment focused on providing the skills they need to succeed in life. 

The Texas-based non-profit organization was established by a group of dedicated educators and university academicians who were passionate about the way children approached math and science. Since 2000 HPS has grown to 56 campuses, 35,000+ students, with a 98 percent graduation rate for seniors and 100 percent college acceptance rate.

Our mission is to prepare each student for higher education by providing a safe, caring, and collaborative atmosphere featuring a quality, student-centered educational program with a strong emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Harmony Core Values:
•	Every student will learn and grow into a successful and productive citizen.

•	Our students, parents, and staff work in harmony to create a strong community of success. 
•	We guide our students to value integrity, show respect, and be responsible.
