The Class of 1960 was the first graduating class, with about 130 graduates from Centerport and Greenlawn only. That first class used the building for four years as it was being completed. Today, the average graduation class size is around 300 people and still remains one of the smaller districts compared to neighboring districts.

The name Harborfields came from a combination of the older names of Centerport (Little Cow Harbor) and Greenlawn (Old Fields), selected from an entry by Billy Lefko and Robert Comito in a naming contest in about 1958.

Harbofields High School can be seen in the Documentary "Mariah Carey's Homecoming" which aired on December 14, 1999 on Fox.[3][4][5]
