About HHS Tech Crew

Harrison Tech Crew is a selected group of students in charge of planning and controlling all technical and backstage  aspects of the productions at Farmington Harrison High School.  Since 2002, a new system of operation and leadership has been designed and run by members of the crew.  This system helps break down the complexity of tech in a production into smaller, more managable sections, each controlled by an appointed crew cheif under a higher leadership.
