School Board
Our school board is made of people who care about education. They bring various perspectives, gifts, and talents to the table. Chairman of the board Reverend Denman Isgett leads the other board members, Rebecca Battle-Bryant, and Tammy Glaser in following the by-laws of Harvest and laws governing non-profit (501(3)c) and federal tax-exempt organizations. The board meets as needed and welcomes parent(s)/guardian(s) to attend and ask questions. Please contact the headmaster or chairman if you have questions about the school, board, or key documents.

Tammy Glaser, M.S. O. R.I graduated from the Naval Academy in 1985 and planned to make the Navy a career. I tracked submarines, earned a masters degree, and recruited for the Navy. God had a better plan in mind. He gave me a loving family: Steve, my husband, and our children, Pamela and David. After our daughter developed autism, I found my true calling in education. I left the Navy in 1995 and started homeschooling.
Shifting to Charlotte Mason's ideas began in 2000 with my children and later in church ministry. I was blessed to join AmblesideOnline when it born! God has let me share these ideas with families, speak at conferences, and train public, charter, and private school teachers. For two years, a team of educators and I designed curriculum for the first Charlotte Mason charter school in the USA. I'm part of prov-en-der and similar groups. I'm thrilled to inspire teachers, students, and families to learn and love learning. Click here for my email address. In Honor of Janet Mora, M.A. C.C.C., S.L.P.We are grateful for all the wisdom and time that Janet Mora devoted to Harvest. She joined the board at the very beginning and served our school for eleven years. She asked great questions and walked with us through so many decisions. She retired from the board in May 2024 and we are so thankful for over a decade of faithful service from Janet.
In Memory of Cathy GilbertWe fondly remember our first chairman of the board and fearless champion, Cathy Gilbert. She was present at our very first Harvest experience after the founders made the decision to start a school. She marveled at the power of narration and how she would have benefited from a Charlotte Mason education. She helped us grow from a handful of people with an idea to a nonprofit private school with a building, board, and by-laws. In October 2019, she lost her fight for life and we will always be thankful for her service.
In Honor of Patti JohnstonAnyone who knew Cathy Gilbert also knew her dear friend Patti Johnston who joined the board when it was formed. Patti helped us make so many decisions and helped us become the thriving school that we are today. We will always remember her dedication in finding the best deal for those consumable supplies that a young school goes through quickly. She retired from her work on the board in October 2019 and we are grateful for her support.
