1957-1975

The school added a grade each year, as well as students to existing grades, and it quickly outgrew its original space. A capital campaign fell short of its goal, but Harford Day borrowed money, bought eight acres on Moores Mill Road, and built a new building with six classrooms and a multipurpose room in 1961. An old farm building on the site was converted into a kindergarten. The school continued to grow in its new home, and in 1963 Harford Day held its first commencement and graduated five students. In the ensuing years, more classrooms, a science lab and library would be added, and the multipurpose room expanded. By the time Sara Brumfield retired in 1975, the school had 197 students.
