Despite the challenging snowy start to the week, Harrogate High School was determined to ensure the safety of the school site and provide a timely return for students.
Today (Thursday), the school welcomed back one of its alumni, Mike Bushell, sports presenter for BBC Breakfast.
Mike visited the school to speak with staff and students as part of a special feature for BBC Breakfast, previewing this Saturday's highly anticipated Third Round FA Cup clash between Harrogate Town and Leeds United at Elland Road.
Reflecting on his return to the school, Mike shared how much it has changed since his time as a student, with a new building and an even stronger local following for Harrogate Town.
He said:
“It’s good to be back, though there are certainly more Harrogate Town supporters here now than when I was a student!”


The school was excited to see a former student return and students had the chance to engage with Mike, sharing their enthusiasm for the upcoming match.
This visit serves as a reminder of the strong connection between Harrogate High School and the wider community, as well as the exciting opportunities available to students through involvement in both local and national events.
Catch Mike Bushell's return to Harrogate High School on BBC tomorrow morning at 6.30am and 8.30am.
