Harding was my life for 12 years. It gave me my best friends, helped me pursue my passions, and taught me so much about myself. I couldn't wait until I no longer had to be associated with it, but Harding is a good school. I tend to focus on all the reasons I was happy to leave it's bad, but now I want to focus on all the blessings that have come it. I am so grateful for every single teacher and friend that I have met over the past 12 years. The hours I've spent with my classmates and teachers made me the person I am and will continue to be a part of me no matter how old I am or how far I go. I have learned a lot from the crap I had to deal with while at this school, but I have also found so much love. It's important that I remember the things that I had to learn, but remembering all the people that have loved on me since day 1 is so much more important. I couldn't care less about Harding as an institution, but as a church family, Harding will always have a piece of my heart.

Love the staff and students! Just visiting from Woodland to see if this is the right environment for my son and I love it. Woodland has been a nightmare with the snobbiest of parents and clueless staff. Harding seems to represent themselves in a very professional and friendly way. Briarcrest has als...
