Wisdom and Encouragement from Harmonee McCrea

Harmonee McCrea had no intention of having a career in education. As a runner, Harmonee went to college on an athletic scholarship, and it was there that she found her calling: to teach. Once the right doors opened, Harmonee found herself as the principal of a K-2 school, which is also her current role. Harmonee is full of encouragement, and once you listen to this episode, you'll understand why.

Harmonee McCrea grew up in northeast Indiana in a small town called Orland. After high school graduation she moved on to Bethel College for four years, majoring in elementary education. She gained 11 years of classroom experience before moving on to administration. Harmonee has now been a principal for the last 11 years at the K-2 level. She is married to Patrick McCrea, and together they have 3 children (almost grown up), Molly, Wade, and Emily. She loves running, lifting and reading in her free time, as well as taking care of the home front!
