Mrs. Hardy is a First Grade GTE teacher. She began her teaching career in 1997 at Perry Elementary School teaching Third Grade after graduating from Georgia College. She has a Master of Early Childhood Education, Gifted Endorsement, and has been teaching at Kings Chapel Elementary since 2008. Mrs. Hardy especially enjoys teaching First Graders and the amazing amount of growth the children display at this age. Her favorite time of the school day is during Interactive Read Aloud. The classroom is filled with such positive energy as she and the children share an engaging book.

Mrs. Hardy is married to Perry native, Brett Hardy, a retiree of the Houston County School System. They have been married for 27 years and are blessed with three talented children: Eve, Lydia, and Hayden. Eve is a Georgia Tech graduate living and working in Atlanta for GDT, an international IT solutions provider. Lydia recently graduated from The University of Georgia and works for Parrish Construction Group as a marketing administrative assistant in Alpharetta. Hayden is a busy Senior at The Westfield School, but he can always find time for a round of golf!  All three of the Hardy children went through Kings Chapel Elementary. What a wonderful foundation!
