Carla Hardy began teaching at Chisholm Trail High School as a voice teacher and accompanist in its opening year, 2012.  The next fall, she joined the choral staff as the assistant director to her husband, Jared Hardy, and then became the head director of choirs and CTHS Fine Arts Department Chair in 2019.  The Hardy's moved to Fort Worth from Lubbock, Texas where they taught in Frenship ISD for 9 years.  The Hardy's are humbled by the growth of the CTChorale in these last eight years.  The choirs have performed across the United States while receiving multiple and consecutive UIL Sweepstakes awards and festival honors for each of the six competing choirs in the program.
