Welcome Letter

Our graduates are some of the most effective and eloquent ambassadors for the Hill School program. Their ability to articulate the value of a Hill School education is often very impressive. A number of our young alumni work at Hill during the summer in positions ranging from front office receptionist and grounds workers to counselors in our summer program. I am proud to have these young people represent the school.

I asked one of these students to give a tour of the campus and answer questions about the school to a prospective teacher. Later, I asked the candidate how the tour had gone. She remarked that she was impressed with how well the recent graduate understood our program. Most memorable to her, however, was this student's comment about the faculty, "Hill teachers do a lot more than just teach classes. They really care about us as people."

A Hill school education involves: offering opportunities every day for academic experiences in small classes, and providing opportunities for every student to participate in a wide range of co-curricular activities such as art, athletics, community service, drama, music, and outdoor education. A third, equally important component is Hill's continued emphasis on a strong community where older students provide responsible and caring leadership for our younger students.

On behalf of the entire Hill family, we invite you to learn more about our school.

Sincerely,

Thomas A. Northrup
Headmaster
