Lions for Life

We love our alumni! A phrase you’ll hear often around here is “Lions for life.” That’s because once you become a Harding Lion, you are part of a community that lasts beyond graduation. Your continued participation through time, talent, and resources helps keep Harding Academy strong.

There are so many opportunities to reconnect at Harding Academy. Join us for events, speak in chapel or to a class, come back for reunions, or financially support programs to benefit current students.

  • Black Alumni Association

    The Black Alumni Board and Black Alumni Mentorship program is designed to assist students of color at Harding Academy. The goal of the mentorship program is to provide students an additional line of support as they prepare to pursue their careers. Additionally, the program encourages mentorship relationships, stimulates helpful dialogue, and assists with academic and employment opportunities.
