The Wildcat Extra Mile has quickly become the most popular race in Searcy! This a fast one mile race that starts and finishes in front of Harding Academy. There will be two race heats so participants can run at their own pace. The Wildcat Extra Mile is for competitive runners as well as casual walkers and everyone in between! There will also be a fun family carnival before and after the race. We encourage students, parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors to come out and go the extra mile with us Saturday morning, April 23. This race benefits the Harding Academy PFTA. All race proceeds will be used in the classrooms to the benefit of teachers and students. In the past, these funds have been used to purchase playground equipment, bleachers, and classroom iPads. School needs vary from year to year and we thank you for supporting Harding Academy!

First published in 1868 as a serial in a Charles Dickens publication, Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone is considered the first detective novel in British literature, and is still one of the best, as witnessed in this thrilling adaptation filled with romance, suspense, humor, and chills.

Word of Colonel Herncastle’s death reaches Verinder Hall in Yorkshire just days before Rachel Verinder’s 18th birthday. With it comes news that a priceless gem, the Moonstone, will be passed down to Rachel on her special day. The colonel had acquired the gem through nefarious means, and Rachel’s mother suspects the diamond is cursed. Complicating matters more, a suitor of Rachel’s, longtime family friend Franklin Blake, knows for a fact that the Moonstone is being sought after by a mysterious Indian man.

Despite these ominous warnings, Rachel cannot be swayed to part with the Moonstone. But before a night has passed, the gem goes missing, and Franklin calls on crusty Sergeant Cuff to investigate. There may be only one Moonstone, but there are plenty of suspects, including a housemaid with a troubled past, a frustrated suitor, a quack physician, the menacing Indian stranger, and even Rachel herself.
