Welcome to:
Harlan County High School's Guard page

The Harlan County guard program was established in the Fall of 2008 with the opening of Harlan County High School alongside of the marching band. Furthermore, it is committed to its continuing quest to empower students to be excellent in the principles of individual and group achievement. Our guard program is comprised of various ensembles that perform and compete at local & regional levels. Under the guidance of Directors Mr. W. Mike Shepherd, Mrs. Shelley Shepherd, Mr. Kevin Shepherd, and Mr. Keith Dossett; these programs offer students a comprehensive educational experience through performance, life lessons and opportunities that extend beyond a traditional classroom. It is no surprise, that with the combination of a well balanced program and the students achievements, Harlan County guard programs continues to be a positive influence on hundreds of school students year after year.
