Grades K–12 will be closed for teacher inservice.
Coach Kabano and Coach Starks want to invite all of our soccer families – those with players from SK through grade 12 – to join us on Thursday evening, July 30, in the main lobby of the Cherry Road campus so that we can share with you why we are excited about the future of Harding Academy’s soccer program. Light refreshments will be served in the lobby beginning at 5:15 and we will move into the auditorium soon after 5:30 for the meeting.
Harding lower school families reconnect for summer fun at My Big Back Yard as part of the Party in the Park hosted by the admissions office! An outdoor adventure and ice-cold popsicles made for a great summer play day in Memphis. In just a few weeks, we’ll all be back together for a new school year!
The Class of 2021 takes the Cherry Road campus by storm this past week as they were introduced to the wonderful world of seventh grade! Thanks to a team of seventh grade sponsors, division leaders, administrators, alumni, and student counselors for helping them make awesome memories!
This past week at UCA Cheer Camp, Harding’s varsity cheerleaders placed 1st in their cheer division, 3rd in their dance division, and 5th overall out of 22 teams. They are extremely excited to share their new routines and game day activities with the Lion family in August. Other highlights include – Harding senior Shelley Stafford received the Pin-it Forward award; Senior Kalan Settles and junior Carson Arnett tried out and made the All-American team.
Senior Jake Criswell (RHP/OF) has committed to play baseball at Southeast Missouri State (SEMO) as a pitcher. This past year Criswell was 4-5 with a 2.18 ERA and 77 SO. He has a career record of 18-9 and has the opportunity to break three school records in the Spring 2016 season: Most Innings Pitched, Most Strikeouts, and Most Wins. Over the last four years Criswell has helped lead the Lions to a 104-49 record, two district championships, two regional championships, one regional runner-up, four substate appearances, and two state runner-up finishes. Congratulations Jake!
We are so proud of Harding junior Calvin Austin who ran at the USA World Youth Track Championships in Illinois June 30–July 1. After a grueling first day, he ran the 200 (21.85) and 400 (49.26), finishing in the top eight – qualifying for finals – and recording personal bests in both events.
