Music that Describes Sherita
Sherita Harmon was nominated by an anonymous family member.
Mrs. Harmon is dedicated to her students, colleagues, and the community. She is an exceptional example of a true educator. Mrs. Harmon has a passion that goes beyond the limits most people place on themselves. She goes above and beyond the call of duty as a teacher, not only by preparing her students academically, but by teaching them life skills.
Beyond teaching, she and a colleague have provided Dream Prom experiences for several of her students. She and one of her colleagues have hosted prom dress giveaways. She has fed students. Because she is so observant, she knows when people are not their usual selves. Therefore, she is able to acknowledge when something might be wrong with one of her students and communicate with them. She even takes the time to acknowledge their birthdays and special occasions.
Mrs. Harmon takes great pride in her role as a teacher, philanthropist, mentor, and role model. She carries herself with grace and dignity, always looking for ways to make a difference. Mrs. Harmon is big on the small things because sometimes, they make the most impact.
Mrs. Harmon relocated to Houston, TX in 2007 and got married in 2008. It was as if a whirlwind had blown, and Mrs. Harmon's passion was manifested even greater. She came up with an idea to feed the homeless and do something to assist in making a greater difference. Mrs. Harmon is the founder of a non-profit organization, Blessed to Be a Blessing, where she sponsors various events throughout the year to aid in feeding and giving back to those less fortunate, such as sponsoring Valentine's, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day activities and meals.
"I was granted the opportunity to participate in one of her events and found everything to be well organized, timely, and fun," said her nominator. "Most importantly, I repeatedly heard appreciation from all that came out to be a part of the festivities."
Mrs. Harmon later founded H.U.G.S. (Helping Underserved Girls Succeed). This is a mentoring program where she works with girls aged 15-18 in their personal growth and building their confidence and self-worth.
During the 2018-2019 school year, Mrs. Harmon was nominated for Teacher of the Year at her campus. She came in as runner up. Beyond her role, she is also involved in Professional Development in her school district. She is one of many Professional Development presenters, and she absolutely loves having the opportunity to help her colleagues learn and grow.
Mrs. Harmon goes above and beyond in the classroom by practicing what she preaches. Over the course of her teaching career, she has done many wonderful things that extend beyond her job duties, such as creating a pantry in her classroom because a student confided in her that she did not always have food at home. Her latest act of going above and beyond was purchasing toiletries for a student who need some personal hygiene supplies. This came about after an in-class discussion on the importance of personal hygiene. After class, a student quietly came up to Mrs. Harmon to ask for assistance. The next day, Mrs. Harmon presented the student with what they needed.
"I know for a fact that Sherita shows love by words and deeds, not only to her students, but to everyone that she encounters. She has displayed loyalty in her mission to reach out and make a difference in her community," said her nominator. "Despite being busy as a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, Sherita remains faithful in her endeavors and does so with dignity and respect towards all she encounters. Her support base of sister-girls speaks volumes of others belief in what she is doing. I personally believe her attributes to her community go beyond a call of duty; it is a calling, and it is her passion."
When you speak on bringing substance & positivity to not only a community but the world this woman embodies just that. Her passion & genuine care and love for others is unmatched. The profession she chose as a teacher goes far & beyond a job title bcuz her profession meets her purpose. When you walk in the way of the Most High your already committed to change & for Sherita to climb steadily & consistently she has already won Life Changer of the Decade in my truth! She is absolutely a awesome mother, wife, sister, teacher, & friend!!!
Sherita is the perfect example of what an educator should be. It is obvious that she is passionate about her students and cares about them as students and as individuals.
One only needs to spend a few minutes with Sherita to realize the level of passion and commitment she has for her students' well-being, education and life beyond the classroom. It is a pleasure to work with and learn from her methods.
Sherita has been super helpful to our team - providing valuable feedback and always willing to answer questions and explain concepts to us.
Sherita has been a joy to work with. She's excited about any new products we'll be delivering and thoughtful about making suggestions and giving feedback about the curriculum product she is using.
Sherita is so inspirational. She cares so deeply about her students and seems to pull 30 hours out of every day to accomplish her goals. It's so wonderful to know someone so caring and committed.
It's a treasure to have a dedicated educator like Sherita in our AES community. What a well deserved nomination! Thank you for everything that you do.
Sherita has been an amazing educator to work with. She truly cares about helping her students succeed in the classroom and even after they walk out of her door.
I believe in Ms. Harmon! She deserves to win any and every award that she has the chance to participate for. She’s very caring and supportive of her students, and puts a smile on everyone that’s around her. She is one of the best teachers I’ve had who show their school spirit and faith in all of us.
Mrs Harmon is very caring and helpful. I remember when I would discuss my class or school issues with her she would do her best to try to resolve the conflict. I think she is a very good teacher, because her class is very energetic and interesting to be in.
Ms. Harmon is one of the best instructors I ever had in school, she has been supporting us since we entered the class and I appreciate all of the effort she has put in to teach her students the most she can in a class period :)
Mrs.Harmon is a fun and organized teacher
Sherita, I have enjoyed this journey with you. I have learned so much. I am presently investigating how to do a podcast. Your work with underserved girls is inspiring and so needed. Thank you for that. I have always believed that the problem in education is not one of an achievement gap, but an investment gap. So, thank you for taking the time to pour your heart, soul, and sweat into this organization so that this particularly gap is closed. Keep up the FANTASTIC work!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ms. Harmon as her evaluator for the past two years. Having observed her classroom and the relationships she has with her students, Ms. Harmon has demonstrated all the qualities of a master teacher. Her lessons are filled with engaging learning strategies which allow students to build on prior knowledge, and she assesses each student individually to check for understanding.
Ms. Harmon also has a high level of commitment to her profession. She has outstanding organizational skills and is one of the key components of the Alief Health Sciences team. She is constantly modifying and creating tremendous lessons – making them more connected to real-world situations.
As a Lead member of the Health Sciences Program, she is a true team player and is consistently facilitating the collaboration between her colleagues to ensure that our students are receiving the best possible education. Her teammates would certainly validate her importance to the team.
The most important characteristic of Ms. Harmon is the sincerity and love she has for her students. The respect and admiration her students show her is genuine and honest. This is evident every time you observe her classroom or clinical labs.
I enthusiastically recommend Ms. Sherita Harmon for the LifeChanger of the Year Award. She is an outstanding example of the culture of this campus and is a vital part of its success. She would make an exceptional representative for your organization and for the Alief Independent School District.
So almost 20 years ago I met a young lady whom I didn't know at the time would be my wife. I've had the pleasure of seeing her grow in so many ways from the 20yr old I met in college. Since day 1 she has been selfless, while so many people our age at the time were anything but. I watched her give of her self to her family and friends countless times. I've watched her grow from a pharmacy tech to a department chair, to now a constant nominee for teacher of the Year. She has a 100% found her calling in the class room. I've watched her grow from a hesitant public speaker to developing and presenting her own professional development seminars. She has been a constant supporter of mine and motivated me in countless ways. She showed me what true love is and continues to everyday. I'm so proud of the woman she has become, I've seen her bring ideas from thought to reality, and I'm never surprised at this point. The positive energy she shares with everyone she comes into contact with is contagious. She has taught me that anything is truly possible and to never settle. I've watched her do amazing things, and put many smiles on the faces of everyone from students to the less fortunate we feed every year for her birthday. To say that she deserves to be the "Life Changer Of the Year" is an undestatment. She deserves this honor and many more. She is an asset to any and every cause she involves herself with. I'm proud to call myself her husband, and you would be proud to call her your Life Changer Of The Year!!
Sherita Harmon is an amazing, selfless individual with a heart of gold! Congratulations on this awesome nomination, well deserved!
Sherita Harmon is inspiring to all she encounters. She is dedicated to her students and goes far and beyond. I hope continues to touch the ones around her and encourage others to step into their passion. #LCOY
Sherita Harmon is a Beautiful Blessing. To know her is to love her and appreciate her.
I can’t think of anybody who deserves this award more then mrs. Harmon. I couldn’t afford to go to prom and i wasn’t going to go. I had already decided i wasn’t going to go and mrs. Harmon and mrs. Spriggs they bought my prom ticket, my dress, got my hair and makeup professionally done. They made my experience in high school so amazing for everything they did for me. I’ll always remember them and love them because they did for me what i couldn’t do for myself. And she was here for me when i didn’t think i had anybody in my corner. I’ll love her and her family forever because i wouldn’t be where i am today with out her.
Sherita is a pleasure to work with. She is organized and caring and always professional.
Sherita is an amazing teacher! She gives her all to not only her students, but her staff , parents, and school. We are so thankful to have her.
So proud of you cousin. Your students are so blessed to have a caring teacher like you.
Also, how you care for others with your HUGS & Bless To Be a Blessing organizations shows how you are using your gifts & talents to help others. You are so deserving of this recognition.

She is an extraordinary woman, she gives 200% in everything that she does. She is a great inspiration to everyone -thank you Sherita for all that you do!
Sherita is just an absolute Amazing, Caring and Unselfish Understanding Woman who gives herself to mentoring and helping OTHERS.
I have known Mrs. Harmon for over 30 years. She is an amazing empathetic leader with a kind heart. Her vision and mission is clear and sound. She successfully manages multiple platforms and is a strong advocate for growth and positive change within her community and profession. I am blessed to call her friend.
This woman is amazing. She is not only a friend, but someone I aspire to be like. She has a heart of gold and her smile expresses that from the inside out! She doesn’t hesitate to give and help in anyway towards those in need. She is a great mentor for not only for her students but teachers as well!

Sherita is most deserving of this award. She is always giving to others. She cares for everyone. Positivity is a true way of life for her. She would represent this award very well indeed.
I have known Mrs. Harmon for 17 years now and she has been such an inspiration to my life. Beside the excellent example she exudes as a mother, sister and friend she also has shown what being a selfless spirit is. To be in her graces is a experience. She is more than deserving of this award.
Inspired by her dedication to the community by feeding people who may be having trouble funding food to eat on her birthday that showed tremendous sacrifice & overwhelming humility for other people in her behalf & helping young girls see a versatile leader in the community while mentoring them to achieve and accomplish their own personal goals by example & growth.
Having worked with Ms. Harmon for over a year now, I can truly say she is the heart and soul of the Health Sciences Team. She is always smiling and in a positive mood. This translates into happy students and coworkers. She is a beacon in her students' lives and they reciprocate with hard work, passion for Health Science, and a positive attitude.
Great job, Ms. Harmon!

Mrs. Harmon is the essence of this quote above. She continues to cultivate young minds to be critical thinkers by way of education, self reflection and empowerment to touch others. The message she places in the hearts of the youth and adults will last a lifetime. It's a honor an privilege to know and be a colleague Mrs. Harmon.
I love you much! Best mom and mentor in the world ????
Ms. Harmon has changed my life tremendously. She helped shape the person I am today. From her amazing advice and her support system. She truly deserves this nomination and I would like to thank her for all she has done for me.
By the end of this year I will have known Mrs. Harmon for 3 years now. Mrs. Harmon is my mother away from home, honestly. She is of course a mother, but she doesn’t limit that love to her children, it is definitely spread to everyone she comes in contact with. It’s as if she can’t help herself. I was privileged to be one of the first members of her new H.U.G.S. program and I have learned so much from it. It’s such an amazing opportunity to seek guidance and advice from women who just want to help young girls throughout their teen years and we need it now more than ever. I remember walking into the first meeting and seeing how excited she was. All the tables were decorated in pink and the H.U.G.S. logo showered the room! Activities were laid out for us to do and our mentors were ready for us to meet and greet! Anyone who walked into that room could feel the love and security that Mrs. Harmon provided into this program and it’s just so amazing.This comment is going to be long but I don’t care! As stated in the article above, Mrs. Harmon is very observant, she can always tell when you aren’t yourself and she won’t hesitate to let you know that she is there for you and is willing to help. That’s what I love the most about her, besides her contagious energy. She is funny, sweet, and a great teacher! It was an honor to know her and I am going to miss her dearly when I graduate. I couldn’t possibly think of a better candidate for this award. Mrs. Harmon truly changed my life.
Keep up the good work! You are an awesome role model to your girls showing them how you can help in the community.
Mrs.Harmon was my Clinical Rotation, teacher she was very helpful to me I knew I could count on her at anytime. She was a great inspiration with very good patience she always gave me words of encouragement and the confidence that i needed . With her as my teacher there was never a dull moment I am truly blessed to have had her as my teacher .
Ms. Harmon has changed my life tremendously. She helped shape the person I am today. From her amazing advice and her support system. She truly deserves this nomination and I would like to thank her for all she has done for me.
Wow, what can I say about Mrs. Sherita Harmon?? We met over 30 years ago in grade school and she has always been a bright person in any space. She gives selflessly to her community and supports her family and friends. She is always thinking of new ways to serve others and often rallies her peers to help as well. She pours her gifts into the next generation of girls through volunteer service and shares her heart with the students she teaches. She is definitely a life changer and has earned that title and more!
I had the privilege of having Mrs Harmon as my teacher for 2 years in high school. She was my favorite teacher because she was so happy and she made these quirky jokes that always turned my bad days into good ones. She knew when to step in and give words of encouragement, even while she was pregnant. No matter what, she makes you feel like you can do anything, which is a great step from the average teacher. There is no doubt in my mind that Mrs Harmon exemplifies the life changer of the year!
Mrs. Harmon is an amazing person. She makes everyone feel like they can do anything. She is an important member of our professional development team and is always the recipient of high praise in feedback from the participants. She is always looking for ways to learn more so she can share more. She is the model of a life-long learner who implements what she learns. I loved reading the other posts and learning more about her. Her philosophy of taking care of the small details agrees with what I have learned. Take of the small things and the big things will fall magically into place. Her energy is contagious and that energy truly can CHANGE your life.
Sherita is an Angel sent from heaven to spread her compassionate heart with all those within her reach at the right moment in time. Her Heart is filled with love, giving,sharing, support, guidance, mentoring, assisting and teaching.
Sherita’s care goes far and beyond the scope of human kindness and care .
Ask me how do I know ???
Because she has proven to me over and over to be that Angel from Heaven.
Where do I start...I met Sherita about 9 years ago at an event that we both were volunteers along with her husband who was one of the professional athletes there who to was a volunteer working with children in the Houston area; from that day on we have been connected. I would listen to Sherita as she spoke about her vision and ideas of what she wanted to do for the community and watched her implement them. Sherita has always been a philanthropist; her drive and motivation to help adults and children unselfishly has been motivation to so many to want to go out help and do the same. My final words to Sherita is for her to know that her unconditional love for her community is an inspiration to not only the people that she works with and helps but to me and my daughter as well. We love you and will continue to support you as you flourish in your purpose.
Wow, Mrs. Harmon should be awarded life changer of the year, no doubt. She is such an amazing teacher, not only that but she also helped and encourage me to do what was best during a personal problem i had. She is loving, and truly cares about others, i have affirmed that. I’m so glad i got to be one of her many students, she was a help during high school and i know she will be a help during my college years.
Sherita is such an awesome spirit for education and the community. You could have nominated a better young lady.
I am so proud of you! You are an amazing person, leader, teacher, motivator, etc....God has great things in store for you! I can’t wait to watch as your blessings continue to unfold!
I met Sherita (my Lucy) almost 20 years ago and me and her have been the best of friends every since. Sherita has a heart of gold and goes the extra mile to help anyone. I couldn’t think of anyone better that deserves this award.
Mrs. Harmon has truly been a blessing to me after I relocated to Houston. She was so welcoming and supportive in her efforts to support the community blood drives. Little did I know, she would become an amazing mentor and friend to me. She is always very helpful anytime I have a question. She may not always know the answer but will work to find out. She is charming, exhibits great ambition and is always a pleasure to be around. She is highly motivating and truly an encouragement for me to be a better person! She certainly deserves the LifeChanger of the Year award.
You are such a beautiful person inside and out. You are thoughtful and caring and you are a motivational young woman. You motivated me to push with my non-profit organization unknowingly. You have a giving spirit and I know that you presence brings positive energy.
