Ms. Imani Harper

Hello Highland Renaissance Families!

Let me introduce myself! My name is Imani Joy Harper and I am THRILLED to be your Principal! I have been working in CMS for the last 12 years. I studied Political Science, African- American Studies, and African Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. I have two Master’s Degrees from Johns’ Hopkins and UNC Charlotte (Elementary Studies & School Administration). Here are some fun facts about me to help begin our relationship together:

• I am originally from Yonkers, NY. NEW YORK IN THE BUILDING!!

• I am a FOREVER Special Educator

• I have a dog named Brody who has my heart!

• I am a plant mom with lots of plants in my office and home

• I am an ONLY CHILD and have the best relationship with my parents.

• I played Division 1 Volleyball at the University of Pittsburgh.

• My favorite color is Orange. Literally all shades of Orange!!

• My favorite animal is a Giraffe (possibly because I am also pretty tall!)

• I have recently picked up a new hobby, roller skating!

• I love a good cup of coffee and can be found vibing out to music when not in classrooms.

My plan is to continue the great work that has been happening at Highland Renaissance Academy. I cannot wait to meet all my students and families. The 2024-2025 school year WILL BE the best one yet!!
