Some classes don't have the laptop program, like P.E., math, and art. The classes that do support the laptop program are English, History, Science, and Health.

[edit] Go Green

Harvest Park is a "go green" school, and was also the first school in the United States to be ran by solar panels. This school also has a successful recycling system. harvest park also uses recycable forks and spoons!but not everyone contributes...so let other schools do this as well!

[edit] CHRRIS
