Harding Celebrates 100 years!

In September 2024, Harding Elementary celebrated its 100th anniversary with over 700 students, families, alumni, and community members in attendance. Every student and staff member received a commemorative t-shirt courtesy of alum Deb Wilson Murphy (Class of 1961), and an aerial photo was taken to mark the occasion. The celebration featured a birthday cake from Wegmans (thanks to alum Eric Weislogel), as well as remarks from former teacher Judy Alstadt, a mayoral proclamation, and a letter of congratulations from Governor Shapiro. Former student ambassadors led tours of a school history display, while current students contributed decorations, cards, and a time capsule. The event was a meaningful tribute to Harding’s proud past and promising future!
