All about "Miss" Dorothy

Hi! My name is Mrs. Dorothy Rikard and I am your JK teacher this year. I just wanted to tell you a little bit about myself. This is my 26th year of teaching preschool at Harding Academy Little Harding. I earned my Bachelor of Accountancy degree from The University of Mississippi. My husband, Gary, and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary. We attend Ellendale Baptist Church. Gary is the Security Manager for the Bartlett City Schools. We have two boys, Will and Sam. Both of my boys began their school careers at Little Harding. Will is a 2009 graduate of Harding Academy. He graduated from Rhodes College and teaches English at Jackson Christian, as well as, coaches the varsity football team. His wife, Claire, is also a 2009 Harding graduate and is a pediatrician at the Rainbow Clinic in Humbolt, TN. Sam is a 2014 graduate of Harding Academy and is a Facility Manager at Bartlett City Schools. His wife, Kate, is a 2015 graduate of Harding and is a teacher with the Bartlett City Schools. When I am not teaching, I love to spend time with my family, walk, and watch sports. My favorite team is the Ole Miss Rebels.
