Our logo is one of the first and most important images a person will see about Harding Academy. We have an exciting update to our school logo to share with you. We have not altered the H logo or the font of the text (at this time), however we have refreshed the “packaging” of our existing logo elements. We have revised the former square logo into a new shield logo.
Last summer the Board of Trustees determined that expansion of our board was a key component in Harding’s ongoing renewal.
