Dr. Stephen Harrison has been a member of the Girls Preparatory School faculty since 2017. Holding a doctorate degree from Vanderbilt University, Steve brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique teaching philosophy to his classroom. A passionate Manchester City fan, his love for the game often sparks lively discussions about cultural geography and political history. He teaches U.S. History, AP Government, and AP European History. His educational approach is unconventional yet effective: he believes in empowering students to take charge of their own learning, often allowing them to explore and engage with the material independently while he provides guidance as needed. This method has fostered a highly interactive and self-motivated learning environment.
