Welcome to Life Science!

My name is Layton Harrell, and this is my second year teaching!  I lived in a small, southwest Georgia town until I was 10 years old, then I moved to Effingham County and have been in the area ever since. I attended Ebenezer Middle School as a student, so it is great to be back! I graduated from Bryan County High School in 2016. I have a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Georgia Southern University, where I was also a part of the softball team. I have played softball since I can remember, and I am excited about being the head coach for the Lady Eagles softball team this year. I am currently working on my Master’s Degree in Education from Georgia Southern University. So that makes me a triple Eagle??? Go Eagles!!

My family is everything to me! I have the best parents who are always supportive and go above and beyond for my sisters and me. I have three sisters and one brother-in-law! I get to enjoy this fun, adventurous life with my fiancé, Brandon, who I get to marry this year. I have one niece who the world revolves around.  I have two dogs, Max and Zeke! I absolutely adore all things outdoors, from flowers to fishing, to trees, to sunsets...anything really! I love watching things grow and that is what Life Science is all about!

I look forward to having you this year, and we are going to learn and grow so much together!
