Honoring Exceptional Athletes
We have a rich history of athletics at Harding Academy. We believe preparing, practicing, and competing can build confidence, develop character, and grow healthy relationships. Our Lions have won championships, broken records, and even gone on to play professional sports. Most importantly, they have competed with integrity and heart.
Our Athletics Hall of Fame honors the most exceptional athletes in our school’s history. These are athletes of immense talent, skill, and dedication.
