2023-24 Teachers of the Year

Samantha Berryhill

While being recognized as the Harmony Public Schools’ Elementary Teacher of the Year for the 2023 - 2024 school year is an exciting accomplishment for my personal career, it is also a testament to the special culture I have been lucky enough to thrive in.

Harmony Public Schools are special in the education world because they focus on supporting the staff that works for them. This support allows teachers to shine utilizing their individualized strengths to encourage exceptional growth from each student that passes through their doors.

2023-24 Elementary Teacher of the Year

Quaniesha Limbrick

The passion I have for teaching is what drives me daily. It is a joy to see the smile on a student's face when they achieve their hearts desires.

To me it’s not just being a teacher but being an advocate for my students and encouraging, mentoring, motivating, and guiding them to be the best that they can be.

The students of today are our future and I want them to know that anything is possible.

2023-24 Secondary Teacher of the Year

Teacher Appreciation

Teacher Appreciation Week is a special week for the recognition of teachers, and may include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in the community in general.

This week is set aside to show respect for the teaching profession in general. It focuses on understanding how difficult it is to deal with young people who have very different minds, sometimes complicated personal lives and backgrounds.

This week will give attention to the fact that teachers work without cessation to help children reach academic milestones, develop awareness of different cultures and cultivate personal knowledge.

It is the responsibility of Harmony Public Schools to have a well organized Teacher Appreciation Week for all staff members.

We appreciate our teachers all year long!

Team Building

Faculty members are strongly encouraged to attend all team building activities including Thanksgiving Events, Winter break Events, School Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner engagements, Cooking Classes, Sports, Camping Trips, Parent Teacher Conferences, Appreciation Events, and meetings or events sponsored by school administrators.
