Administration and Office Staff

	Dr. Harman, Principal I have been the Principal at Centennial for two years. Prior to that I taught Kindergarten (22 yrs.), first grade (2 yrs.), fourth grade(2 yrs.), sixth grade (1 yr.), consulting teacher (2yrs.) and a parapro for an emotionally disturbed child (during a year of graduate school). I have also been a tutor/counselor for a local boys home; an adjunct professor for The College of Idaho; and taught summer classes for Boise State University. My bachelors is from NNC in psychology and elementary education. My masters is elementary administration from the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota and my education doctorate (Ed. D.) is in curriculum and instruction from Boise State University. I’ve been married for 28 years. My wife and I have two children, ages 8 and 6. We also have 8 horses, four cats, and a dog. We love to travel and I play bass in a local band (Highstreet). As principal, my goal is to treat each child as I want my own treated; and to treat parents as I would want to be treated. Or is it, treat each child as I would want to be treated and treat the parents as parents. Either way, will work. You are certainly welcome to come and visit Centennial any time. We welcome the opportunity to share our enthusiasm and accomplishments. If you have questions or concerns please free feel to contact Dr. Harman by calling the school at 468-4627 or emailing him at pharman@nsd131.org.
