Building the Future: January 2025 Update
Together, We’re Building the Future!
We are thrilled to share that our capital campaign has reached an incredible milestone—over $14 million raised toward our project goal of $17.5 million! Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our generous community, we are closer than ever to making the vision for our new building a reality.
Our campaign master plan, prepared in consultation with architects and campus planners at Hastings Architecture, is a series of intentional stages that began in fall 2023. This thoughtful approach ensures we can build boldly and wisely, guided by our unchanging values and mission.
$3.5 Million to Go: Let’s Finish Strong!
To bring this transformative vision to life, we still need to raise $3.5 million. Every contribution, no matter the size, moves us closer to completing this vital work.
Here’s how you can help:
Make a Gift: Your generosity can help make this dream a reality.
Pledge Your Support: Consider a multi-year commitment to strengthen our efforts.
Spread the Word: Share our exciting news with others who believe in our mission.
This is our moment to build a brighter future together—for today’s students and generations to come.
The work supported by our campaign will continue over the course of several years—and it will enrich the lives of our students, families, and neighbors for decades. From wellness and athletics to campus wayfinding and green spaces, our masterplan will prepare Harding Academy for the future while honoring our history.
We know a child’s earliest years are also the most formative—socially, emotionally, developmentally, and academically. Harding’s campaign will drive the construction of an updated, dedicated early learning building, tailored specifically to the needs of our preK and Kindergarten students.
At Harding, the arts teach children to think creatively, speak confidently, appreciate beauty, respect perspective, and express themselves courageously. With your support, we will make room—on our campus and in our curriculum—for more enriching, empowering engagement with the arts, to the benefit of both our students and our community.
