As a Harding University Student I have learned quite a few things. I am heading into my senior year and while i have seen progress in our school i have also seen the setbacks. Coming into the Harding University system I was not previously aware of its reputation and believed that I was walking into a prestigious and well accommodating high school , however I was mistaking. For my freshman was a mixture of unprofessional and horrible administrators who clearly did not deserve the jobs to a principal that was smug, rude, disrespectful and lack luster. They did not give a good start to my freshman class who basically had to fend for themselves. We weren’t being on the level we were supposed to and some not even given the proper classes. Add in the teachers struggling to take control of overcrowded classes with half the class not wanting to learn and distracting the students who actually wanted to. So after a long struggling freshman year we got Mr. Eric Ward a principal that actually made a difference in my school, while it still had its flaws and it was becoming better. This however did make up for teachers who were not able to control their classes or distinguish between teacher and friend. My third year had Harding has so far been better than my last two with fewer complaints. What I must authorize is if you are a successful student DO NOT GET INTO THE IB PROGRAM SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND STRESS!! Its not even worth all of the Bs they say. In the last 8 years only 5 people have gotten the diploma if you really want a challenge worth the effort enroll in AP Classes its way worth it and this is coming from an IB student don’t do it to yourself. But Harding as a school is not so bad, the media may give us as Rams a bad rep but we’re actually pretty normal. Yea there are some bad apples in the bunch nut we won’t let that ruin all the hard work that some people have put in. While I strongly believe Harding is not the best school it has made progress and there are Teachers and Staff Members who actually do want to see you achieve greatness. HUHS And this is coming from a Proud Ram!!

I am now a junior at this school and suffice to say I hate it! I was suppose to go to Waddel and they closed it and now I’m at an over populated school where I learn NOTHING! I have been here for three years and have hated it since before I started. If your child is suppose to go here please reconsider! I have witnessed numerous things wrong. The fact that every year Ive been here Ive had a different principle, the fact that I have been made fun of because of the color of my skin, the fact that I have had to correct teachers whilst they are teaching because they made a mistake. I am absolutely disgusted by the way some of the staff are treated. Yes I have had some teachers actually want to be great mind shapers but others simply come to work LATE, tell us what to work on and watch Netflix! Not to mention the fact that I live literally 5 minutes from myers park and 10 from south meck and yet I have to take a 30 minute drive just to get to school! Let’s also not forget the fact that my freshman year we had a riot at our spring fling. And the fact that every single class Ive had is OVER POPLUATED. I am seriously disappointed with this school and how it has absolutely RUINED my previous thoughts on education. I strongly suggest really looking into other educational options for your child !
