Announcing the 2023 Athletics Hall of Fame Inductees

We are thrilled to introduce the 2023 inductees into the Harding Academy Athletics Hall of Fame. We could not be prouder of this incredible group of athletes, coaches, and supporters. Their dedication has made a lasting positive impact on Harding Academy athletics. We are honored to call them Lions.

Join us in honoring our Athletics Hall of Fame inductees during the football game on Friday, September 8. Kick-off is at 7:00 p.m., and we’ll celebrate our inductees at halftime.
