A Message from the Principal

Welcome to Harding Elementary! We proudly serve nearly 400 students in kindergarten through fourth grade, along with our youngest learners enrolled in the district’s state-funded Riverhawk Preschool program.

Our dedicated teachers and staff work each day to provide a safe, welcoming, and positive learning environment to ensure that ALL students are learning at high levels. We are committed to meeting the needs of every child through a variety of support services including English Language Learners, Talented and Gifted (TAG), Title Reading and Math, and Special Education Services.

We are especially proud to be home to Riverhawk Preschool, which offers high-quality early learning experiences at no cost to families of four-year-olds and also serves children with unique needs beginning at age three.

At Harding, we value our partnership with families and the Mason City community. Thank you for trusting us with your children – we consider it a true honor to be part of their educational journey!
