About The Teacher

Hello, 

My name is Lorrie Harmon.  I have been at Woodruff Primary School for 9
years.  Before coming to Woodruff Primary School, I taught 1st grade at 
Slater Marietta Elementary school.  I love teaching little children and 
watching them as they learn new and exciting things!

In high school (Woodruff High School), I had a teacher who told me that I 
would not be happy until I was teaching.  At the time, I thought he was 
crazy.  I didn't want to be a teacher.  I went on to Clemson University and 
graduated with a BS degree in business.  I began working in the banking 
industry, but to much dismay....I was not happy.  It was then that I 
realized that my teacher in High School knew exactly what he was talking 
about....I DID want to be a teacher.  I enrolled at USCS (now USCU) and 
became certified in Early Childhood and Elementary Childhood Education.  My 
first teaching job was at Slater Marietta.  After several years there, I 
came back home to Woodruff.  I have never been happier!  I will never forget 
that teacher in high school who knew me enough (more than I knew myself) and 
cared enough to know exactly what would make me happy. My dream is to 
know and touch the lives of my students in the same way.

I am married to my wonderful husband of 21 years, Allan Harmon.  I am also 
lucky to be the mother of two of the most wonderful children in the world, 
Jarrod and Monica.  Jarrod is 15 years old, and in the 10th grade at Woodruff 
High School.  Monica is 11 years old, and in the 6th grade at Woodruff 
Middle School.  Both Jarrod and Monica ride in a youth rodeo and are 
doing great this year.  We love going to the rodeos to watch them.  I love 
my family dearly and love spending time with them.  We spend a lot of time 
together on our horse farm. We really enjoy riding.  My family and I attend 
Poplar Springs Baptist Church in Moore.  Our church is a very important part 
of our lives.

Mission For The Class

Our hope as a class is to learn all that we can learn and have fun doing it!
