Chet F. Harritt Elementary School
Uriel Brandon: I loved my experience at Chet. It had amazing teachers and faculty. The teachers actually help you get to where you need to be. I had a teacher named Ms. Toma. She made for sure I passed her math and science courses. I loved my time there. Would not change anything.
