In 1988, Glenn Harmon was named after Mr. Glenn Mathis Harmon.
Mr. Harmon began as a fifth grade teacher in Mansfield in 1954.
He became the principal of Erma Nash Elementary School 3 years later.
He was promoted to director of personnel 2 years before his retirement
in 1987. After his retirement he would visit the school often and
bring all the staff a red rose.
Glenn Harmon is a neighborhood school with a diverse population.
Students represent approximately 25 different languages in the world.
We serve children in prek-fourth grade, students with English as
a second language, students with an individual education plan ages
3 - 10 and children identified as gifted and talented. We
embrace our diversity and celebrate our differences, united in spirit!
The curriculum is a language rich, balanced literacy approach focusing
on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Students
in all grades write daily and are expected to problem solve
using a variety of methods.
Enrichment includes physical education, music and music related
movement and dance, health education in a hands-on environment,
art and a character-building program called SUCCESS!
Technology is also a big part of our students education.
We have a complete IBM lab and a wireless lab that travels to the
classroom. The labs and classrooms are connected to the Internet.
