On October 21st, students and staff wore orange to show their support for Unity Day and our commitment to standing against bullying. Throughout October, our Eagles are participated in activities that promote kindness, inclusion, respect, and belonging, including an Anti‑Bullying Door Decorating Contest, UPstander Superhero Contest, Unity Day celebration, and our Anti‑Bullying Pledge Campaign.
Together, we’re building a school where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to choose kindness and be an UPstander. 🦅🧡
This month‑long event is just one element of our robust character education program, which supports students’ social‑emotional growth alongside the rigorous academic environment at HCP.
At HCP, students learn in an environment built on high expectations, strong relationships, and opportunities that help them grow academically and personally. We invite you to join our community. Apply beginning November 11 at enrollokc.org.

🏐 Congratulations to our Eagles on a fantastic volleyball season!
We are so proud of the hard work, commitment, and teamwork you showed throughout the season. Being part of a team is about so much more than wins and losses—it means learning to collaborate, solve problems, persevere, support others, and work toward a shared goal.
Those are the same skills we value in our Student Success Profile and the skills that will help you succeed in the classroom, in college, and beyond.
Big shout out to the volleyball coaches, Parish and Trick!
Great season, Eagles! Wings Up!

🧪 Science in action! Our 7th grade scientists put learning to the test as they conducted experiments to observe and gather evidence of chemical reactions!
Hands-on labs give students opportunities to ask questions, make predictions, analyze evidence, collaborate with their peers, and solve problems when things don’t go exactly as expected. That means our students aren’t just learning science—they’re practicing the skills of hypothesizers, collaborators, problem solvers, and scholars.
These are the experiences that bring our Student Success Profile to life and prepare students to think critically, work together, and tackle challenges with confidence—all essential parts of our college-preparatory mission.

This week, HCP Middle School teacher Cassidy Scarbrough, was invited to the Champions of the Classroom Gala, connecting with educators and community leaders who share a passion for supporting Oklahoma schools.
Cassidy’s conversations with Chet Holmgren and others centered on ensuring students have access to the resources they need to feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn, a reflection of HCP’s mission to cultivate a rigorous, nurturing environment that prepares every student for post‑secondary success.
"I had the opportunity to attend the Champions of the Classroom Gala, where I met Chet Holmgren and had the chance to talk with him about the different ways he has supported and given back to Oklahoma schools. We talked about some of the needs I see in my own classroom and different ways we can help make sure students have access to the basic resources they need to feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn," said Scarbrough.
Her participation highlights the heart of our district: educators who lead with compassion, collaboration, and commitment to empowering students both inside and beyond the classroom.
"The evening included dinner, conversations with educators and community members, raffles, and prizes. It was a really special opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about supporting students and schools across Oklahoma," Scarbrough added.

Don't heat the kitchen up tonight go to Cane's!
What an incredible night! 💚🦅
We had SO much fun at our Fall Family Fun Night, and we loved seeing so many of our Eagle families come together to laugh, connect, and build community!
At HCPMS, we believe every student and every family matters. That sense of belonging is an important part of our college-prep mission—because students are most successful when families, teachers, and our school community work together.
Thank you for showing up and making our Eagle community so special. Together, we are preparing our students for success in high school, college, and beyond!
Wings Up! 🦅💚
Fall Family Night is TONIGHT! Hope to see you there.
Also, we are starting our Sweet Beginnings Fundraiser. Your child should have brought information home today.

Reminder!
Our Eagles volleyball teams played their first games of the season last week! We’re proud of their effort, determination, and teamwork! 🏐💚
At HCPMS, college readiness goes beyond academics. Our athletes develop as Collaborators, Problem Solvers, and Difference Makers when they play as a team. All of these prepare them for life after graduation from HCP.
Win or learn, every game is a chance to grow. Great start, Eagles! Wings Up! 🦅
Our 7th and 8th grade scientists are starting the year by putting their thinking, and their wind cars, in motion!
This hands-on challenge is about much more than building a car. Students are applying concepts of force and motion, energy transfer, friction, aerodynamics, measurement, ratios, and data analysis as they design, test, evaluate, and improve their creations.
This is what college-prep rigor looks like: students using academic knowledge to tackle a challenge where the answer isn't simply given to them. Along the way, they are developing the skills in our Student Success Profile—working as Collaborators, making predictions as Hypothesizers, designing and revising as Problem Solvers, applying academic knowledge as Scholars, and learning that their ideas and ingenuity can help them become Difference Makers.
They're not just building wind cars; they're building the habits of thinking that prepare them for high school, college, and beyond.

A new look. The same mission.
Today, we're proud to introduce the new visual identity of Harding Charter Preparatory School District.
Our updated logo reflects who we are today while honoring the legacy that has shaped us for more than two decades. As we continue to grow—with exceptional elementary, middle, and high schools united under one district—our new brand represents the strength, excellence, and opportunity that define the Harding experience.
Our new Eagles identity symbolizes:
🦅 Excellence in academics
🦅 Courage to pursue ambitious goals
🦅 A unified community from our youngest learners through graduation
🦅 A commitment to preparing every student for success in college and beyond
While our look has evolved, our mission remains unchanged: to prepare every student for success at any post-secondary educational institution through rigorous academics, meaningful relationships, and high expectations.
Over the coming weeks, you'll begin seeing our new logo across our campuses, website, social media, and district communications.
This is more than a new logo. It's a reflection of where we've been, who we are, and where we're going.
Welcome to the next chapter of Harding.
