Mrs. Paula Shrum, Assistant Principal
This will be my 3rd year as Assistant Principal at Harrisburg Elementary. I love being a part of this thriving community of learners. My goal this year is to continue to build strong relationships with staff, students, and parents. This is my 15th year with Cabarrus County Schools. I earned a B.A degree in Elementary Education K-6 with a math education concentration from the University of Charlotte in 1993. I earned a M.Ed in Instructional Technology from East Carolina University in 2009, and completed my Principal Licensure from Appalachian State University in 2016.
I believe that the “Burg” is the best community around, and has an amazing reputation for student achievement and parent/community involvement. I am inspired by students and teachers every day, and I’m proud to be a part of this group of dynamic, innovative, and global thinkers. Thank you for allowing me to learn and grow with you all. This year, let’s challenge ourselves to set new goals each day, and keep our expectations high. I believe that all of us can be successful if we invest in each other!
Please let me know how I can help make your child’s school career at Harrisburg the best one possible!

Mrs. Cat Morrill, Assistant Principal
I am so pleased to begin my administrative career with Harrisburg Elementary School! Last year I completed my graduate internship as a Principal Fellow at Northwest Cabarrus Middle School. Prior to NCMS, I was a classroom teacher for thirteen years at Weddington Hills IB Elementary School, and taught Kindergarten, First, Fifth, and Fourth grade! My wish for this school year is to support teachers, students, and our family members by adding to the caring culture that the Burg is known for. Striving for a well-balanced educational experience, with academic excellence and positive social interactions, will help to prepare our learners for success in the future. I am here to serve every student at Harrisburg Elementary School, and by working together in the coming years we can achieve greatness!
