Alumni Reunions & Gatherings
Homecoming 2009 Welcomes Back Three Classes For Reunions
September 25-26 was a big weekend for alumni events. At the Homecoming game, the alumni tent hosted over 100 alumni and family members. The official reunions for the weekend were the classes of 1969 (40 years), 1984 (25 years), and 1979 (20 years). Several brought yearbooks from their years together. It was a memorable weekend. Enjoy the pictures in the alumni photo gallery.
Class of 1979 Celebrates their 30th Reunion
By: Bill Ivey
Cathy and I walked in the front door and immediately saw faces we had not seen in 30 years. Now our past students had wives and children in tow. We walked down to the elementary gym where there was a sign up table, name tags (with class pictures) given out and the rest of the Class standing, talking, greeting and hugging. There was unbelievable excitement in the air.

50th Reunion of the First Graduating Class of Harding Academy of Memphis
By: Victor Boone
Carolyn Welch Hladky, literally, took the bull by the horns and ran with it, to mix metaphors. She contacted all the contactable members of the classes of 1959, the class of 1960, and the class which would have been the class of 1958 (former Memphis Christian School students) if Harding College had taken over Memphis Christian School earlier. Email invitations were sent out for the reunion to be held on Saturday afternoon, May 16th, in the Alumni Room of the Cherry Road Harding Academy of Memphis campus.
