Mrs. Amber Harris

My name is Amber Harris. I am St. Paul alumni, class of 1999! When I had my son, there was no question about where I’d send him for school. I would not be who I am today, without the foundation of St. Paul School; or teachers like Mrs. Haas, Mrs. Barnett, Mrs. Cahalan, and Mrs. Pratt- who are still teaching at the school, today! I credit all my successes to this school, and the teachers in it!  
I currently have a child (Jameson) enrolled at St. John Paul II. He absolutely loves it, and he’s excelling! My husband (Thomas “Tank”)  is active in the parish and with the school, as well. He provides DJ services for special dances and activities.  He coaches basketball, flag football, soccer, and he is active on the Athletics Committee. It’s a family affair! And, JPII feels like family!  
For the past thirteen years, I‘ve worked as a nurse, in various services; including nursing administration. Over the years, I obtained three degrees in nursing. Over the last few years, I struggled to find the reward in healthcare, and desired a change. My mom worked as the librarian, when I was in school; and I loved having her there! I wanted that same experience, with my son. 
This past school year, I served as a First Grade Classroom Assistant/ Fifth Grade Lunch and Recess Monitor. I got to know a lot of the students and have grown to genuinely love spending my days with them! I am excited at the prospect of taking on the  role of Administrative Assistant. I’m looking forward to forming new relationships, within The JPII Family!
