We are grateful to the veterans who attended and allowed us the privilege of recognizing their contributions.
Thank you to our 4th grade students, teachers, and families for making this celebration a memorable tribute to the heroes in our community.
Our youngest Eagles loved getting to listen to the stories, connect with our high school students, and share in the magic of reading. What a wonderful way to bring our school community together and inspire a love of literacy across grade levels!
Once an Eagle, always an Eagle!
Fine arts opportunities begin early and inspire a lifetime of creativity. Recently, members of the HCPHS Band visited our 4th grade students to perform, share their musical talents, and answer questions about their experiences in band. 💚🤍
By connecting younger Eagles with student leaders, we're showcasing the many pathways available through the fine arts across our district and inspiring the next generation of performers, creators, and musicians. From elementary school to graduation, HCP students have opportunities to discover their passions, develop their talents, and shine. 🎺🎼🦅

Let’s just say our 1st–3rd graders had a blast with Devon SportsLab in PE at Harding Charter Prep Elementary! Students learned about potential and kinetic energy through fun, hands-on movement activities while also practicing teamwork, communication, and team-building skills.
They were moving, learning, collaborating, and having fun all at the same time! It was a great opportunity for our students to see how science and movement connect!
A big thank you to Devon SportsLab and the OKC Thunder for coming out and creating such an engaging and exciting learning experience for our students!
Today, Lyric Theatre brought a special interactive performance of Oklahoma! (The musical by Rogers and Hammerstein) to our whole school! Our students had the chance to experience live theatre, join in on the fun, and see some incredible performers right here at Harding Charter Preparatory Elementary!
A huge thank you to Lyric Theatre for sharing the magic of musical theatre with our students!

We are so proud to introduce our Fourth Grade Eagle Leaders! 💚 Check them out here: https://youtube.com/shorts/lI96upkpkmw?feature=share
If you see these bright, shining faces around HCPES wearing their green vests and lending a helping hand, you’re looking at some of our newest Eagle Leaders!
Becoming an Eagle Leader is something to be proud of. These fourth graders completed an application process, participated in interviews, and received teacher references before being selected to serve in this special leadership role.
Throughout the school year, our Eagle Leaders will take on a variety of responsibilities around campus! That includes helping with school safety, assisting students and staff, and, most importantly, helping us build a culture of leadership, kindness, responsibility, and connection.
We are so excited to watch these students lead by example and make a positive impact on our school community.
Congratulations to our Eagle Leaders! We’re proud to have you representing HCPES!
A HUGE thank you to all of our HCPES families who came out for our very first Family Workday! Your time, energy, and teamwork made a BIG difference around our school.
Look at everything we accomplished! This is what Soaring Together looks like!
Thank you for helping make HCPES a place where every Eagle matters! We are so grateful for our incredible families!
We had SO much to celebrate from the month of August at HCPES!
Several of our students were recognized as our Awesome Eagles for showing RESPECT and being awesome members of our HCPES family! They were each nominated by a staff member for this incredible award.
A huge shout-out to Mrs. Stefanick’s 3rd Grade Class for winning the GOAT Attendance Award with an incredible 98.55% attendance in August! Way to show up and soar!
And finally, congratulations to Team WATER (Blue) for earning the most points in August! 💧 They’ve earned a Pajama Day!
