Harrison, who attended Fairmont Private Schools from
kindergarten until high school graduation, developed an
interest in politics during the beginning stages of his time
at Fairmont Prep and was able to take advantage of various
opportunities the school offered in order to pursue his
passion. Not only was he the senior class vice president, but
he also involved himself in other leadership opportunities
and took courses that would better prepare him for his
career interests.
The great thing about Fairmont was that all of the subjects
were so well taught that I never felt I was lacking," he said.
"It helped me to pave the path that I'm currently on and really
follow through on a goal that I had early on in my high school
career, which was to be somewhere in politics — and that's
where I am right now.
