HARDING PARENTS ASSOCIATION · 2026–27

Parents make Harding a community.

The friendships, the traditions, the people who show up. The HPA brings Harding parents together to help make it all happen.

You're already part of it. Every Harding parent is automatically an HPA member.
A LITTLE TIME. A LOT OF COMMUNITY.

Connect. Serve. Celebrate.

We’re parents volunteering our time and talents to support our school, enrich our children’s experience, and take care of one another.

01

Bring families together

From grade-level parent parties and Trivia Night to Fall Fest and Spirit Nights, HPA traditions help families get to know one another beyond the classroom.

02

Support our school

The Book Fair supports our library. The HPA Auction and Harding Art Show raise resources for our school, teachers, and students. Parent volunteers help make them possible.

03

Care for our people

Faculty & Staff Appreciation celebrates the people who teach and care for our children. Harding Family Connection offers support through joyful and difficult seasons.

WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER

A little support
can mean a lot.

Harding Family Connection supports families, faculty, and staff through life’s celebrations and challenges. A meal, flowers, or a gift card can remind someone that their Harding community is thinking of them.

Know someone who could use extra care? Reach out to the committee. Information shared with HFC is kept confidential.
