Sally Harris CEO/President	Circle "C" Ranch Academy was opened in 1985 by owner, Sally A. Harris. Prior to Circle "C" Ranch Academy, Mrs. Harris opened the Tampa Junction which offered the only daycare and preschool in the downtown area. However, the school's limited size led Mrs. Harris to sell and start Circle "C" Ranch Academy. Since that time Circle "C" Ranch Academy has established a new concept for preschool and after school care by bringing the "Country to the City." Sally graduated from Robinson High School and went on to attend Hillsborough Community College, the University of South Florida and the University of Florida. While in Gainesville, she was branch manager for the Gainesville Florida Campus Federal Credit Union. After college she went into the field of occupational specialist or career counselor. This job led to her being state president of the Florida Vocational Association Board. She has also served as president of the PTSA at Roosevelt and Lanier Elementary Schools as well as Madison and Coleman Middle Schools. Her other school related activities include being chairman of the school improvement team for Hillsborough County, as well as being a state accreditor for schools through the Florida State Department of Education (DOE) and accreditor for preschools through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Sally is presently a State Liaison for NACCP and a recent member of their Board of Directors. She is a wife to Bob Harris, mother of 8 children and spends her fun time snow skiing. Sally also spends as much time as possible on their farm in Inverness. \| Top \| Home \|
