School Notes

  • School Mascot: Hawk
  • At Hewitt, students in kindergarten through twelfth grade work on understanding real-world problems and developing solutions toward shared goals that are much bigger than their own individual achievements. Hewitt girls and young women not only receive exceptional preparation for higher education and rewarding professional careers, they engage in deep, immersive learning that sparks curiosity, cultivates purpose, builds empathic leadership capacity, and lasts a lifetime.
  • Every student K-12 gets hands-on experience designing, building, programming, and driving robots. Beginning in lower school, students learn foundational programming skills using VEX 123 and VEX GO, two robotics platforms designed especially for young learners. In middle and high school, students continue to study robotics through their classes and also have the option to join Hewitt Robotics, our competitive VEX EDR and VEX IQ robotics programs.
