    HARDING MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS SAY:

    • Harding High School has been great!  I love that there are NO fees to play sports at all.  I appreciate the school supply list is minimal and teachers supply items needed for special projects. There are several after-school clubs and teachers are available after school to help if kids need homework or lesson help.  It's been great all around for my students.

    •  My student has been at Fairport Schools since Kindergarten and is entering 10th grade.  We love Fairport Schools and have loved the options for students at Harding High School.

    •  Our student loves being at Fairport Harding High School. The student is doing well academically and socially and wants to continue at Harding until graduation.

    • Harding has done a wonderful job this year teaching our students. They helped them academically and socially.  Our student has learned so much and made great friends.  We hope to finish our high school career here.

    • Our student is doing fantastic this year at Harding and has benefitted from receiving a great education this year.  I feel Fairport is the best place for our students to grow and learn.  

    • I am writing this letter in regards to re-enrolling my student at Harding High School.  My student has been in the district for 3 years and seems to be doing very well and he is thriving.  Our student has had a few minor issues with other students which we would consider typical of any school student, these minor issues have not created any disciplinary action or caused disruption in the students' learning.  Our student is excited about playing football and has been accepted into a program at Auburn Career Center.  It's great to see our students thriving academically and socially at Harding High.  I am sincerely impressed with your staff, procedures, and, of course, the education that my children are receiving.
