History
Named after Richard Hardisty (1831-1889) who was the chief factor of Fort Edmonton from 1872 to 1882. He began working for the Hudson's Bay Company in 1849, his role there made him one of Edmonton's pioneers. In 1874, he built the first house outside the walls of the fort and in 1888 he was appointed Alberta's first senator. Hardisty came from a family of fur traders. Hardisty dealt with the depleting buffalo population in Alberta and the threat of hunger by establishing the Hudson Bay Co. Cattle Ranches. Additions were added to the school in 1960 and 1968.
