Haruhi identifies herself as a biological female, but agrees to portray herself as a boy in order to repay her debt to the club. She carries on, keeping her sex secret from the club's clientele, by wearing a male uniform and using masculine pronouns.
Ouran High School Host Club is a novel anime with an interesting premise and a promising protagonist. It is honest in how reactions to gender nonconformity are often negative. However, its sexism overpowers Haruhi's unique voice, resulting in a bad taste left in my mouth at the end of each episode.

Of course he knows she's a girl, the same way Kyoya knew she was a girl via accessing her student records. Haruhi did not enter Ouran under false pretenses. It's explicitly stated in the Manga that he knows exactly who she is and who her mother was. He's just open minded.
It is revealed at the end of the series that Kyoya gave Honey some "special vitamins" that prevented him from growing taller, so that he could keep the loli-shota role of the Host Club.
