Bio

Meet Dr. Harrison, a dedicated educator with strong ties to Houston County, which she proudly calls home. Her educational journey began at Centerville Elementary School and Northside Jr. High School before graduating from Northside High School in 1987.

Following her passion for teaching and learning, Dr. Harrison pursued higher education, earning her undergraduate degree from GA Southern University in 1992. She continued her academic pursuits and obtained a master's degree from Valdosta St. University in 1997, as well as an educational specialist degree from GA Southwestern in 1999, specializing in Mathematics and Science Middle Grades Education. Not stopping there, she further enhanced her expertise by becoming certified in Educational Leadership and Elementary Education. Her dedication to academic excellence culminated in 2007 with the successful completion of her educational doctoral degree from GA Southern University, focusing on Curriculum Studies.

Dr. Harrison's teaching career began in 1992 at Douglass Jr. High School in Thomasville, GA, which later transformed into MacIntyre Park Middle School. In 1997, she returned to Houston County and taught mathematics to 8th-grade students at Perry Middle School while also actively coaching softball and soccer. After a decade of teaching mathematics, her passion for supporting both students and educators led her to assume the role of system-level Title 1 mathematics coach, providing guidance to grades K-8 and later focusing on grades 6-8. In this capacity, Dr. Harrison conducted valuable professional learning sessions for mathematics teachers throughout the county.

In 2012, she rejoined Perry Middle School as the Assistant Principal for Instruction, where she continues to make a positive impact on the school's learning environment and academic programs.

Beyond her professional commitments, Dr. Harrison cherishes her family time and delights in exploring new places through travel. Embracing an active lifestyle, she finds joy in golfing, exercising, and caring for her beloved trio of dogs.
