20 years of service and not a single day missed – how one Fort Worth teach did it

Harmony Public Schools teacher, Luiz Mullini Nascimento retires on May 27th, 2026, and has never missed a single day of work, according to the district.

FORT WORTH, Texas — A Fort Worth music teacher is retiring after 20 years of service, without missing a single day of work. 

Harmony Public Schools teacher, Luiz Mullini Nascimento retires on May 27th, 2026, and has never missed a single day of work, according to the district. 

Mullini Nascimento was recognized by the district with an official signed State of Texas resolution from State Representative Ramon Romero Jr. honoring his two decades of service to Harmony public schools and North Texas students. Representative Romero recognized Mullini Nascimento for making “a profound and positive difference in the lives of countless young Texans,” according to school officials. 

“Mr. Mullini created experiences our students will remember for the rest of their lives,” said Stephanie Wynn, principal of Harmony Science Academy-Fort Worth. “His dedication, kindness and commitment to students helped define the culture of our campus.”

Mullini Nascimento joined Harmony Public Schools as a part-time music teacher at the Science-Academy in Fort Worth. He became a full-time educator just two months later. During his time at Harmony, he helped build the campus fine arts program, led the elementary school’s guitar club, and helped establish traditions like the Harmony Around the World and Fine Arts Night. 

Originally from Brazil, Mullini Nascimento became involved in music programs as a kid, and studied orchestral conducting and music education. After moving to the United States to complete his graduate degree, he discovered his passion for teaching. 

“I wanted to conduct an orchestra, but first I had to create one,” Mullini Nascimento wrote in a personal biography reflecting on his journey into education. “Harmony helped me fulfill my passion for teaching music.” 

Mullini Nascimento was honored by students and staff through handwritten tribute books and a student-created rocking chair to commemorate his retirement.
