Announcing Natalie (Harden) Gary '97 as New Director of Alumni Relations

June 11, 2025

Fort Worth Christian School is excited to announce that Natalie (Harden) Gary '97 has been named our new Director of Alumni Relations. Natalie steps into this role after the retirement of Terry Drake '78 who retired in January after serving in this role since September 2023.

A proud FWC graduate, Natalie brings a deep love for our school, a strong spirit of service, and a passion for connecting alumni across generations. Natalie and her husband, Jeff Gary '96, also an FWC graduate, recently celebrated 25 years of marriage. Together, they are raising four boys who continue the Cardinal legacy: Hudson (Class of 2028), Brewer (Class of 2031), and twins Sawyer and Silas (Class of 2034).

In addition to her love for FWC, Natalie enjoys a thriving real estate career as a Broker and business owner, consistently ranking among the top 500 agents in the DFW metroplex. She and Jeff also serve together in ministry at The Hills Church, faithfully leading and mentoring others. Natalie shares, “I am so thrilled to serve the alumni at Fort Worth Christian School. FWC was transformative for me and is continuing to be in the lives of our boys. If I don’t know you yet, I cannot wait to meet you and show you all the Lord is doing at FWC. We are excited to welcome you and your families back on campus and as always... It’s a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!”

Dr. Terry Rodgers, President and Head of School, added, "Natalie’s heart for FWC and her gift for building community make her the perfect person to lead our alumni efforts. She embodies what it means to live ‘Forward with Christ’ and will be a tremendous blessing to our alumni and to the future of Fort Worth Christian School.”

Please join us in welcoming Natalie Gary to her new role! We are excited for the impact she will make as we continue to celebrate and grow the Cardinal family.
