Kathy Harriman

My name is Kathy Harriman. I was born and grew up in western New York State, and graduated from Houghton College with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and German. I taught German in high school and elementary school before my children were born. Then I enjoyed the experience of homeschooling with my five children on our dairy farm in Maine. That opportunity gave me a chance to view the educational benefits of working one-on-one with students, something I enjoy at The Ridge Maine. I have been teaching at The Ridge Maine since 2007, and find it very rewarding to be able to help students get turned around academically. The structure of the program along with the individualization of the curriculum for each student has provided a winning combination for positive academic progress. In my spare time I enjoy reading, gardening, knitting, and singing and playing music with a small band. My favorite quote is, “Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” – E.E. Cummings
