DR. JEREMY BOIS
HARLEM PRINCIPAL
Welcome to Harlem High School! I am so honored and proud to be serving this community as your principal. We have a long tradition of providing great experiences for athletes and spectators by ensuring we have positive and strong competition in excellent facilities. We invite you to contribute to that tradition by following guidelines and behaviors listed below:
• Remember that high school athletics are learning experiences for student-athletes and that they make mistakes. Praise them in their attempts to improve as students, as athletes, and as people.
• A ticket is a privilege to observe the contest, not a license to berate others, including coaches and officials, or to exhibit inappropriate or disruptive behavior. Show respect for our opponents, their coaches, and their fans. They are our guests, and we want them to remember Harlem for the strong, united, positive community that it is. Respect the integrity, expertise, and judgment of the game officials. Understand that they are doing their best to promote student-athletes and admire their willingness to participate in full view of the public.
• Recognize and appreciate outstanding play by either team. Refrain from any banned substance, including drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and vape devices before, during, and after the game while on our grounds.
• Use only cheers that uplift the teams and student-athletes. Thank you for helping make this an enjoyable event for student-athletes, coaches, and your fellow fans. You play a vital role in making Harlem Athletics a strong and respected program! I hope you enjoy your experience watching our student-athletes compete.
Go Huskies!
Jeremy Bois Go Huskies!
Welcome Sports Fans,
REED ALLISON
HARLEM ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
As we kick off another exciting fall sports season, I want to extend a warm welcome to everyone joining us for what promises to be a memorable few months of competition, teamwork, and school spirit. Our student-athletes have been working tirelessly, preparing to give their all on the field, court, and course, and I am incredibly proud of the dedication they have shown.
Fall sports are a special time of year, where the crisp air and changing leaves provide the perfect backdrop for the energy and enthusiasm that our teams bring. Harlem High School is happy you are here to support our programs, your presence and encouragement are invaluable to our athletes and our school community.
I want to take a moment to thank our coaches, staff, and volunteers, whose efforts behind the scenes make all of this possible. Your hard work and commitment to our programs are truly appreciated.
As we cheer on our teams, let’s remember that sportsmanship, integrity, and respect are just as important as the final score. Let’s support our athletes with the same passion they bring to the game, and let’s celebrate the values that make our school and our community strong.
Thank you for being part of our fall sports season. I look forward to seeing you on the sidelines, in the stands, and everywhere our teams compete. Together, let’s make this a season to remember!
Go Huskies!
Sincerely,
Reed Allison Athletic Director
