History

Hardin Central Junior High was built and opened as a brand new school in 1976, Cletus Coats was the first principal. The name was reversed to Central Hardin and opened as a high school in fall of 1990. East and West Hardin High Schools became middle schools with their high school students going to the new Central Hardin High. Cletus Coats went to West to replace Dale Campbell who transferred to Central Hardin as Principal. Economy of the community is based on agriculture/farming, industry, service jobs, medical, small business and military. The community is served by Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.

Structure and schedule pattern

The school day begins at 8:25 am and ends at 3:30 pm. Schedules are divided into 3 trimesters of 5 classes each. Each trimester is approximately 12 weeks long. Midday, students are allowed an hour lunch period, usually called "power hour." The expectation is for students to use this time to improve their grades and finish work they may have missed, in addition to eating lunch.

Students have a choice of over 140 offerings per year. 26 credits are required for graduation. In addition to the standard diploma, students may earn a Commonwealth Diploma by following an advanced curriculum and receiving credit in at least four advanced placement classes.
