Linda Hardesty has been a devoted member of the St. Edward Church community since moving to Nashville in 1985. Her connection to the school began with her daughter, Amber, who attended St. Edward School and is now married to Gary Beasley. Together they have three daughters—Brook, a sixth grader at SES, Emma, entering first grade, and Sadie, who will join kindergarten next year—continuing the family tradition at St. Edward.

After serving in the church office since 2018, Linda joined the school office staff this year and is excited to support the faculty, students, and families as part of the school team. She enjoys spending time with her family, participating in Bible studies, attending Cursillo retreats, and taking pilgrimages to Medjugorje. Linda cherishes her involvement in both the St. Edward and extended Catholic communities and feels blessed to serve at a school she holds so close to her heart. SES is truly the BEST!
