3E in Hardin County:

What's Your E?

The 3E's stand for Employed, Enlisted and Enrolled.


The goal is to ensure that prior to graduation, every student in Hardin County has committed to either: Employment at a local company, Enlistment in the military, or Enrollment in a 2 or 4-year college.


Each E is to be equally honored, respected, and given equal consideration.


College is not the only option!

Whatever E you choose, our community is excited for you and your bright future!
