Senior Spotlight: John Hardy High

Julia High, Marketing Chair

This week’s senior spotlight features one of RMA’s finest, John Hardy High. Everyone is familiar with John Hardy’s friendly and funny personality due to his 14 years at RMA. Whether he is hanging out in the gym or is switching classes, you can bet John Hardy is laughing, smiling and making someone else do the same.

John Hardy’s football opponents would disagree with describing him as “friendly”.  He has been on the football team for 6 years and is a dynamic threat on both offense and defense. He served as a leader for his team and helped make this season successful. Aside from John Hardy’s football and academic  accomplishments, which include making the Honor Roll all through high school, what really sets John Hardy apart is his love for the outdoors. If it’s hunting, fishing, or working on the farm, being outside is definitely his favorite place to be. He spends much of his time working in the fields or for his dad. His commitment to the outdoors doesn’t just stop there, he also annually volunteers for Duck Unlimited and puts up wood duck boxes around Nash County. Learn more about John Hardy in the interview below.
