During her senior year, she served as her dance team’s Colonel, or highest-ranking officer.  She graduated from Texas A&M University in the spring of 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and a Minor in Dance.  While in college, Mrs. Harmon worked for Crowd Pleasers Dance Company and was a member of The TAMU Dance Ensemble, the modern company for Dance Minors.
Mrs. Harmon began her education career in 2012 as an English teacher in Allen ISD.  In 2015 she accepted a position at Independence High School in Frisco ISD.   At IHS, Mrs. Harmon taught Family and Consumer Science courses and served as the Assistant Director of the Royals Drill Team.  The Royals won many awards during this time, including an ADTS National Championship in 2016.  Mrs. Harmon is honored to direct the Emerald Elite at Lebanon Trail High School and looks forward to building new traditions and creating a successful program.  Directing a high school drill team has been her dream since she was in high school herself, and she is thrilled that it is finally coming true!
