Paul Harding High School, located at 6501 Wayne Trace in Fort Wayne, Indiana, was a public high school that was part of the East Allen County Schools district. The school served students in grades 9 through 12. Named after Paul Harding, a former superintendent of the school district, the high school was known for its diverse student body and commitment to providing a range of academic and extracurricular programs. In an effort to improve educational outcomes, the school underwent several changes over the years, including transformations in its curriculum and facilities. However, due to various challenges such as declining enrollment, Paul Harding High School was eventually closed in 2011 as part of a district reorganization plan. Following the closure, the building was repurposed and reopened as the Paul Harding Junior High School, later known as Harding Fine Arts Academy, and then as East Allen University, a high school focused on providing students with the opportunity to earn college credits while completing their high school education. The transition aimed to enhance educational opportunities and better serve the community.
