HARDING ACAD EMY CO MMU NI T Y CO D E

BE KIND. BE HONEST. BE RESPECTFUL. BE OPEN. BE DEPENDABLE. BE A LEARNER. BE MY BEST.

DEAR HARDING ACADEMY COMMUNITY, As I take a moment to reflect on the vibrant Harding community, I am filled with both inspiration and gratitude for the unwavering support and generosity that envelop us. This Annual Impact Report is more than just a summary of our accomplishments; it is a heartfelt tribute to the countless contributions that create a nurturing and inspiring environment for our students.

Thanks to the Harding Fund, the Building the Future capital campaign, and the initiatives led by the Harding Parents Association, we have raised significant funds that have transformed our school in remarkable ways. These contributions have allowed us to enhance our programs, expand our resources, and provide essential support to our dedicated faculty, all of which directly benefit our students.

during athletic events—all are invaluable. Together, we foster an environment where children feel supported, engaged, and inspired to become their best selves.

Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to inspiring the minds and nurturing the spirits of every student at Harding Academy. Your continued support is crucial as we strive to enhance our programs and facilities, ensuring that Harding Academy remains a shining beacon of educational excellence.

Thank you once again for your generosity and dedication to our school. Together, we are not just shaping the present; we are nurturing the leaders of tomorrow.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Philanthropy extends far beyond financial contributions; it embodies the spirit of community.

The time and talents you share—whether volunteering at the Harding Art Show, serving as a class chair for the Harding Fund, or managing the concession stand

Micheline Dutil Interim Head of School Consultant

Since 1975, The Harding Art Show has been one of the largest and most successful fine art exhibitions in the Southeastern U.S. Held annually, this three-day event features over 80 artists from across the country, showcasing a diverse range of styles and mediums. As Harding Academy’s premier fundraiser, it attracts over 5,000 visitors to our Nashville campus, offering free admission and a variety of art for all tastes and budgets. This year, Co-Chairs Katie Fayard and Audrey Guest, alongside their dedicated team of volunteers, organized an event that sold over $1 million in art for the third consecutive year. It achieved its goals of fostering community, offering exceptional curated art, and supporting Harding Academy and arts education in Nashville. We’re grateful to our volunteers, patrons, and especially to 2024 Featured Artist Ashley Mary for her remarkable multi-disciplinary contributions to the show!
