Your ‘23-‘24 Team

  • Lauren Ruhe, Co-President

    Lauren and her husband currently have a first-grader at Harrison (her brother will also become a tiger in a few years).

    As a way to connect with fellow parents and get to know the school better, Lauren joined the PTA when her daughter started kindergarten. She loves being engaged with the teachers and staff, and finding ways to support them and the important work that they do.

    When she's not recruiting new members to the PTA, Lauren spends her days as a Sr. Business Systems Administrator for a local SaaS company. She enjoys a hot cup of coffee (likely reheated at least three times) and a good cozy mystery.

  • Nate Rischling, Co-President

    Nate has a second grader at Harrison (whose brother will also be a Tiger in a few short years).

    His leadership philosophy is heavily focused on inclusion by engaging with as many people and perspectives as possible. He attributes this guiding principle to a single quote:

    "Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine." -Alan Turing

    Outside of the PTA, Nate is a program manager for the Department of Defense and a graduate student at Columbia University.
