History

The district was founded in 1938 with the consolidation of Rosewood, Rhonesboro, Union (Little Mound), and Honey Creek schools. As the passage of the consolidation went with considerable ease, the name "Harmony" was chosen as the name for the new district.

Other schools which later consolidated with Harmony include Grice, Peach, Enon, Soules Chapel, Latch, and part of Kelsey.
