Experience Searcy

Searcy’s small-town atmosphere provides an ideal environment for Harding’s community to thrive. While you pursue your education at Harding, Searcy can also provide you with an excellent place to call home.

Searcy has been experiencing an exciting renewal and has invested in developing a 20-year master plan. The draw to the Searcy community keeps families coming back to raise their children. College students, young adults and professions find great starts in Searcy’s local businesses, industries and corporations. Searcy offers a variety of sports and recreation through its Parks and Recreation, sports complex and swim center as well as great outdoor activities like hiking, biking, tennis, golfing, fishing and boating. 

Searcy Mayor Mat Faulkner (’02) sat down with us to discuss the relationship between the University and its hometown and how we can grow together.
