Senior Spotlights!🎓💜
As graduation approaches, our seniors are reflecting on the semester that shaped what comes next. From internships and student teaching to hands-on experiences that challenged and clarified their calling, these moments have helped prepare them for life beyond Hardin-Simmons.

Each story is a glimpse into growth, purpose, and the impact of a Christ-centered education—marking the transition from student to alumni.
Read their stories in the latest issue of the Range Rider. In the link below.

Last weekend, we welcomed back our alumni for the Annual Soccer Reunion and celebrated our inaugural Wall of Honor recipients—honoring the legacy that continues to shape HSU Athletics today.

The celebration carried on at HSU Family Day at baseball, where generations came together to enjoy the game, snap photos with Hoss, and cheer as kids took their turn running the bases. Seeing players from the 1970s reconnect, reminisce, and share stories from their time at HSU was something special.

Moments like these remind us—once a Cowboy, always a Cowboy. 🤠💜
