School Notes

HC provides rigorous academic programs that prepare every student for collegiate study, but our community goes beyond the classroom.
Our faculty and staff engage students in service and leadership opportunities through student governance, athletics, and fine arts that build confidence and skills to assist in developing a life focus.
We understand we are training tomorrow's leaders and examine issues that encourage students to seek knowledge and understanding before drawing conclusions.
We educate for character because, in their future, our students will need the solid values and convictions that a Christian world view imparts.

Prospective students and their parents are invited to campus for admissions events, including Open House (check our website for registration). Campus tours are given throughout the week. Call the Admissions Office to schedule yours today! Also, prospective students are encouraged to 'shadow' a current HC student. These are great opportunities to discover the excellence and value of an HC college preparatory education.
