ABOUT HOGA

Since its founding in 1900, Harford Secondary School has cultivated generations of women leaders inspired by its enduring motto: “LABOR, OMNIA, VINCIT” – “Labor Conquers All.” The upcoming anniversary will not only celebrate this rich history but also galvanize the community toward future endeavors.
