“Students know that if they have a problem, they can count on Erica to be there with a smile and an ear to listen,” a colleague of Hardbarger wrote.
Hardbarger was joined at the ceremony by her husband, Allan — who is also a teacher and the tennis coach at Hart High School — Superintendent Vicki Engbrecht, Assistant Superintendent Michael Vierra, Hart Principal Jason d’Autremont and Hart District Teachers Association President Jayme Allsman.
