Principal's Message

Dear Hardinsburg Elementary Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! My name is Justin Arnold, and I am honored to serve as the principal of Hardinsburg Elementary School.

As I begin my first year at HES, I am excited to join a school community known for its outstanding students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. I am the proud father of three children, Ava, Landon, and Rhett, and I believe every child deserves to feel valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.

This year, our theme is "Once Upon a Time... We Became Extraordinary." Together, we will continue writing the story of Hardinsburg Elementary through learning, growth, perseverance, and success. I am excited to partner with our families and community as we create an extraordinary year for our students.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve the Hardinsburg Elementary community. I look forward to a fantastic year ahead!

With Bearcat Pride,

Justin Arnold, Ed.D.
Principal
Hardinsburg Elementary School
