HARDAWAY HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
ALUMNI UPDATE | JULY 2026
A Message from the Executive Board
Dear Fellow Hawks,
Welcome to the first official newsletter of the newly reorganized Hardaway High School Alumni Association.
After several years of inactivity, our Association has entered a new chapter with renewed purpose and a shared commitment to reconnecting and engaging the Hardaway community. Over the past several months, the Executive Board has been working diligently to rebuild the Association, establish a clear vision for the future, and create meaningful opportunities for alumni involvement.
Our mission is to unite and engage alumni in support of Hardaway High School by fostering meaningful connections, providing resources and opportunities, honoring excellence, and investing in the success of current and future generations of Hawks.
As part of this new beginning, we are proud to launch our official communication platforms, including our website, social media pages, and alumni newsletter. These tools will allow us to better share information, celebrate our alumni, and keep our community connected.
In the coming months, our priorities include:
• Rebuilding and expanding our alumni database
• Increasing communication through newsletters and social media
• Strengthening partnerships with Hardaway High School
• Creating opportunities for alumni engagement and volunteerism
• Planning future events and initiatives that celebrate our school's rich history and traditions
One message we have heard clearly from Hardaway High School Principal, Mr. Maudrice McNeil, is the desire to see more alumni back in the building, involved in school events, and connected with the next generation of Hawks.
While financial support is always appreciated, our primary goal is reconnecting former Hawks with the school they call home. We want alumni back on campus—attending events, mentoring students, celebrating achievements, and helping preserve the traditions that make Hardaway special.
As we begin this exciting new chapter, we need your help. Please take a few moments to visit our website, and complete the Alumni Contact Form. Updating your information will help us rebuild our network and ensure that you receive future newsletters, event announcements, and Alumni Association updates.
We are excited about what lies ahead and look forward to sharing more news, events, and opportunities in the months ahead. Together, we honor our past, celebrate our present, and invest in the future.
One School. One Legacy. One Hawk Family.
Sincerely,
The Executive Board
Hardaway High School Alumni Association
