In 2012 Harrison High School officials named the “Commons Area” at the school after the Shoulders family and several years later later they stated hosting an annual “Lecture Series.”
Eleven (11) members of the Shoulders family have graduated from Harrison High School. Eight (8) members of the Shoulders family have graduated from Indiana University. These are the reasons way the family have strong ties to the Indiana University and Harrison High school.
In 2016 member of the Shoulders family started  a “Lecture Series” for the benefit of the faculty and students at Harrison High school.
Over the years the Shoulders family sponsored prestigious individuals from Indiana University to come down and speak to the students and faculty members at Harrison High school.  This year’s “Lecture Series” speaker is none other then Indiana  University head mens basketball coach, Archie Miller.  This event will be held on Tuesday, August 27 at 6pm in the “Shoulders Family Commons” at Harrison High school and is free to the public.
The City County Observer commends prominent local attorney, Indiana University Trustee, and former CCO “Distinguished Community Service” award winner, Pat Shoulders Esq., current Vanderburgh County Commissioner President, Ben Shoulders, and also rest of the members of the Shoulders family for providing our community with a fantastic speaker from the University of Indiana.
