Greetings! My name is Dominique' Harbour and I am a teacher of fabulous first graders here at E. L. Connally Elementary. I am a graduate of Spelman College, where I received a B.A. in Child Development. I continued my education at Georgia State University, where I received a M.S. in Educational Psychology.
