Alumni Spotlight
Brittany Bayne, Harmony Alumni and School Nurse!
Each month we will be spotlighting one of our awesome alumni. This month our spotlight falls on our very own school nurse, Ms. Brittany Bayne.
Ms. Bayne went to Harmony Innovation Houston and Harmony Science Academy Houston middle school and Harmony School of Science Houston for high school. She attended these schools from 6th to 9th grade. After graduating from a home school program in 2014, Ms. Bayne attended college to pursue healthcare and ministry. She currently works as our school nurse while pursuing ministry full time as well.
She decided to work at Harmony Endeavor because it was a great opportunity and her mom (who also is part of the Harmony team) recommended it. Ms. Bayne says that she "hasn't regretted it since." When asked what she likes about working at Harmony Endeavor she said, "Our staff members have qualities that you can't put a price on. Sympathetic and Understanding abilities, Teamwork and friendliness. Our students are dedicated and bright". In addition to all of her duties as our school nurse, Ms. Bayne is also offering a Creative Writing after school to students this year.
Thank you Ms. Bayne for all you do for our students and staff! We are so glad that you are part of the Endeavor family!
