A Lubbock charter school is closing its high school's doors.
Harmony Science Academy, will no longer be a K through 12 school as of next year.
Current juniors and seniors will have the option to stay at Harmony through graduation, but 9th and 10th graders will have to enroll at other Lubbock schools.
Julie Norton, Director of Communications for Harmony said the decision is due to a lack of enrollment and the need to strengthen the elementary and middle school programs.
"At Harmony public schools it's a top priority for us to make sure that we are offering students a really robust program. So we really will be able to spend more resources and energy focusing on our K8 programs and it will allow us to be able to expand the K8 programs as well," Norton said.
Norton said no teachers will lose their job, and the high school educators will be reassigned to the lower grades.
