Larry Hardison

Larry Hardison came to The Gifford School in 1971 as its Executive Director. Prior to coming to Gifford, Larry was on the faculty as a teacher and then principal at Manville School, a component of The Judge Baker Children’s Center in Boston. Larry served as Director until 1975 when he became the Director of the Weston Metco Program. However, he soon realized that his real calling was to work more directly with students, which is why he went back to the classroom as a teacher at Boston Latin Academy. He retired in 2003 and moved to his native South Carolina. Larry was a sensitive and sincerely committed educator who was especially tuned in to the needs of inner-city children.
