Today we’re celebrating our ORR-mazing principal, Mr. Harbour! 🦁

Mr. Harbour is a true leader—always present for our students and staff, leading with heart, dedication, and a positive spirit. Whether he’s cheering on our ORR Lion Cubs, supporting teachers, or even taking a pie to the face for a good cause, he shows us what it means to lead by example.

Thank you, Mr. Harbour, for being an ORR-mazing principal every single day and for always roaring by example for our school community.

Today was made even sweeter as we celebrated our grad walks, and some of his Tyler High Lions were able to share in this special day with him too. What a meaningful moment to see past and present Lions come together in celebration!

We are grateful for all you do for Orr Elementary and for the impact you make on our students each and every day. 💙💛
