New AP Ms. Hardee

I am thrilled to be part of the Lakewood High School family and proud to be a Leopard! With 26 years of experience in education, I have had the privilege of serving students, families, and educators in a variety of roles, including school administration, district-level special education case management, and both general and special education classrooms.

Throughout my career, my passion has always been helping students recognize their potential, overcome challenges, and achieve success. I believe every student deserves to feel valued, supported, and empowered to reach their goals. Building meaningful relationships, fostering an inclusive school environment, and working collaboratively with students, staff, and families are at the heart of my educational philosophy.

I am excited for this new chapter at Lakewood High School and look forward to building connections, making a positive impact, and supporting the continued success of our Leopards. Here’s to a wonderful school year filled with growth, opportunity, and Leopard pride!
