THE DEDICATION Harding Academy dedicated the new front entrance and strength training facility on Friday morning, October 12, 2012. Board members, administration, alumni, friends, and community leaders were present for this special moment. Mr. Al “Chip” Bright, Chairman of the EDGE commission, and a Harding alumnus and parent, spoke about the impact he feels Harding will make in the Memphis community. These projects would not have been possible without numerous people whom we would like to recognize. Thank you to our Board of Trustees; our donors (present & FUTURE); Legend Fitness, Advent Design; Fleming
& Associates; Linkous Construction; Dennis Electric; Delta Home Repair; Chapman Landscape; Clear Advantage Lighting; and RT Carlock Company. From Mr. Williamson, “ I cannot think of a better way to commemorate our 60th anniversary than by ushering in a new era of Christian education - a renewed commitment to excellence represented by these wonderful new improvements. We are committed to being a beacon of hope in Memphis and committed to providing an excellent coeducational college preparatory education firmly rooted in and filtered through a Christian worldview.” 5
