Harris comes to ICC and finds home Brewer native John Wayne Harris, director of Projects and Energy Management Systems, came to Itawamba Community College as a freshman in the fall of 2006, and he never left. The son of Nannette and Joe Harris, he had just graduated from Shannon High School in the spring. During the first few days of his freshman year, he said he jumped feet first into running the sound for CenterStage for its fall concert and “turned around and did the same thing for the dinner theatre, all the while going to class and being a part of the All-American Marching Band.” And somehow he just knew he wanted to earn his degree and start his career at ICC.
