Harris Hartsfield Memorial Scholarship

BE A PART OF THE HARRIS HARTSFIELD MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

“Standing in the photo lab, the softness of jazz filling the room, Hartsfield gave off the confidence of an old world artist. He played jazz CDs for us in class and it became the steady and familiar beat of creativity and artistic expression...It’s hard to completely capture his essence, but it was there, his sense of ease, acceptance, and lightness. The weight of my other classes lifted when I would enter the room; it was more than just a classroom, but a place of refuge.” - Liza Epps ’04

Harris Hartsfield, a founding faculty member of The Archer School for Girls, fostered a learning environment that was comfortable and empowering to his photography students. Described as a mentor, inspiration and friend to students, alumnae and colleagues, Mr. Hartsfield’s reach extends across multiple generations, encouraging many to experience the world through a camera lens.

The Archer community celebrates Mr. Hartsfield’s life and his work inspiring young minds through the Harris Hartsfield Scholarship. Just as Mr. Hartsfield always encouraged life through the arts, this scholarship will be awarded to an Upper School student of promise in the Visual Arts.
