Advisory Council

The Harding Academy Advisory Council is a permanent organization established to assist in the Board of Directors' promotion of the general welfare of the Academy. Although all governing authority is vested in the Academy's Board of Directors, the mission of Harding's Advisory Council is to provide counsel, support, and publicity for the programs and goals of the school.

Harding's Advisory Council enables the Academy to invite selected leaders from among alumni, parents, or other friends who have already demonstrated their support in the Academy's mission.

Through its activities, Harding's Advisory Council fosters among its members an enlightened understanding of the strengths, values, and programs of the Academy as the school strives to maximize student growth within its community as well as impact education beyond the confines of its campus. The purpose of Harding's Advisory Council is to complement the efforts and contributions of the Board of Directors, president, administrators, faculty, and staff.
