Harjunrinne school started its operations as a continuing school in 1930. In 1951, a school building designed by architect G. Jägerroos was completed on Kalevankatu, which initially housed a secondary school and civic school classes in addition to the continuing school. The post-secondary school changed to the Citizens' School in 1957 and the school had vocationally oriented wood, handicraft, household and trade lines. The civic school became the Harjunrinne school in 1976 when the elementary school came to Riihimäki. The renovated school building was commissioned in 2013.
