Congratulations to the Harding bands for a very special spring performance – All Bands Sunset Concert – which was held Saturday, May 2, at 5:00 p.m. in the senior courtyard.
Bravo to the A Cappella Chorus who performed their last concert of the school year, Wednesday, April 29, at Germantown Church of Christ. Parents of the senior A Cappella members were asked to join their students for the senior song, “Give Thanks to the Lord,” written by former director, Dan Burdette. It was a tearful moment as these parents and students held hands for this last concert. The performance closed with the alumni members joining the group for the traditional last two pieces, “My God and I” and “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.” Congratulations to Brooks Gatlin on a wonderful first year.
I want to thank everyone for another wonderful Taste of Harding event last Saturday. We were blessed with beautiful weather to welcome over 550 guests. Because of your support, over $85,000 was raised to benefit the students at Harding Academy.
Special thanks to Kathie Ray, Tricia Mullins, the Taste of Harding Committee, our entire development staff, and the countless volunteers who made our evening together so successful. I appreciate the wide support from our faculty and staff, and I am eternally grateful for your continued willingness to give your time and resources to keep Harding strong. Of course, the success of this event would not be possible without the support of many vendors and sponsors who gave so generously. Our restaurant awards went to the following: Lions’ Choice – Frost Bake Shop; Best Signature Dish – Las Delicias; Best Taste – One & Only BBQ. The next time you are planning an evening out or a special event, please consider one of our Taste of Harding partners . . .

Congratulations to the sixth grade class – Class of 2021 – who “bridged” Tuesday evening, May 5, 2015, at the Cherry Road campus. The Bridge Ceremony recognizes the transition from lower school to junior high. It is an exciting time for these students and we look forward to seeing them at the Next Big Thing immersion program in July and then back for school in August!
Yearbook assembly day is always an exciting time – especially for the senior class!
Message to senior parents:
The seniors will gather back together following graduation practice and lunch around noon for pictures before their senior walk-in on Friday, May 8. This is a very special memory and you will want to be present if you can. Following the senior walk-in, the senior video (to date) will be shown. It will be finalized after graduation. The yearbooks will be presented and of course, Mr. and Miss. Harding will be announced. Plan on being at the upper school (Cherry Road campus) around noon to take pictures (but no later than 12:30 p.m.).
Senior parents who have questions about the video or lock-in should contact Suzanne Avery.
