A 501c3 nonprofit organization, built to strengthen our community and create opportunities that give back to the place that helped shape us.
01 — Why Now
Generations of Harding Rams.
One association, finally.
Whether you knew it as Harry P. Harding High, Harding High School (HHS), or Harding University High School - Harding Rams has shaped generations of excellence — leaders, artists, educators, athletes, and neighbors.
The Harding Alumni Association exists to support today's students and staff, reconnect alumni, preserve Harding's history, and build something that lasts for the next generation.
02 — Our History
September 4, 1957
A date that changed Charlotte — and the nation.
On that morning, 15-year-old Dorothy Counts-Scoggins walked through the doors of Harding High School and became one of the first Black students to integrate Charlotte's public schools — enduring hostility with extraordinary courage that reverberated across the country.
Harding's place in American history was written that day. The new Harding University High School Alumni Association was intentionally established on September 4, 2026 with that history in mind, and is being built alongside alumni and school leadership to honor the past while investing in the future.
