1957

When Harford Day School opened its doors to 30 children in kindergarten through second grade in September of 1957, it marked the realization of a dream of a small group of parents who wanted to provide an educational choice for Harford County families with young children. They leased an abandoned former two-room schoolhouse in Bel Air from the county. The group was led by Sara Brumfield, who became the founding Headmistress and also taught; Mignon Cameron, who taught French and history for 20 years; and Sidney Poor.
