My child has many happy memories from the seven years he attended Harding. I appreciated the school staff and parent volunteers who worked together to support the students academically and socially. This school has a lot to offer--academics, art, music, science, library, gardening, drama (and many other excellent after school programs). It's a lovely school and we are grateful our youngest will attend until she graduates too. If you live in the Harding neighborhood or are able to transfer in, count your blessings.
HASEP is indeed a wonderful program and the two co-chairs deserve all the credit in the world for their excellent work, however, I think the previous post is way too hard on our teachers. Like any group some embrace change, some resist it, and most are willing to consider any reasonable request or thoughtful suggestion. I have been impressed by how much staff members do to accommodate requests/support the school. Many of them co-chair PTA activities and contribute generously to fundraisers. Teachers from almost every grade level showed up at the auction last year which raises funds to support art, music, and science. Some of them helped with set-up for the carnival this year. A few of them co-chair PTA events (family math night and the variety show). Most try hard to teach the rigorous CA state standards and advocate for their students. Give them a break! --big fan of hard working teachers
The community of parents is great and the HASEP classes are fantastic thanks especially to the 2 moms in charge. The teachers, while great, are entrenched and resist change. Sometimes it's like shucking an oyster with a butter knife as far as getting communications going with them. The principal is a godsend on that and many other fronts! She is devout in her belief in the children and 'her staff'!
Great families, teachers, and principal! Beautiful newly built school with tons of after school enrichment classes!
