Shannon Harris grew up in Shoshone, Idaho, and graduated from Shoshone High School. After college, she returned to her hometown and began working in the administrative office for the Shoshone School District. She and her husband, Mark, raised two daughters who also graduated from Shoshone High.
Shannon and Mark now live in Gooding, Idaho. Mark has been a self-employed farrier for many years. Their oldest daughter is a Speech-Language Pathologist for the Gooding School District, and their youngest is a high school English teacher in the Shoshone School District. Shannon and her oldest daughter also operate a greenhouse where they raise heirloom vegetables organically. Gardening is a large part of her life, and she balances it with a rigorous work schedule and spending time with her grandchildren, ages 5 to 15.
She is excited to be part of the Syringa Mountain School community.
Fun Fact: Throughout their school years, Shannon and her entire family were active in sports and rodeo, which took them on many special adventures. Today, that spirit of activity and adventure continues as she follows her grandchildren in their many sports and extracurricular activities—where they also maintain high academic honors.
