Harding Pep Club - 

New this year at Harding is the school's pep club. 

“We get to make posters for the school.” – Kiera  

“It brings a whole lot of entertainment and people that want to create school spirit for the school. If you don’t have school spirit then you will not care about your school and anything you do for the school.” – Trevor

“Well, this school doesn’t have a lot of spirit so we just like bring that to everybody and we can tell everybody about it. We have to show everybody like with posters and we have to talk about it. We are also taking our spirit out to the community, not just our school” - Olivia
