About
LIFE-CHANGING

“Since 1997, I have witnessed the life-changing journeys of our students and experienced the greatness of Eagle Hill through the lenses of EHS parents. EHS breathes new life into every aspect of a student’s world.”

—Ms. Erin Wynne, Head of School
Admission
PERSONAL

“In our admission office, we get to know you personally throughout our process. We will work as a team to help you learn about Eagle Hill and to determine, together, if we are that perfect match! We encourage you to call us so that we can begin our conversation and answer all of your questions.”

—Mr. Dana Harbert, Director of Admission
Academics
GIFT

“Teaching and learning at their best create a kind of gift economy that relies on the development of genuine relationships. To give a meaningful gift, it is essential to know someone well. To accept a gift also requires the trust and graciousness that are only really possible within the confines of a true interpersonal relationship.”

—Dr. Michael Riendeau, Assistant Head of School for Academic Affairs
Athletics
COMMITMENT

“At EHS our student-athletes are more committed than ever, and we are seeing how athletics and physical activity have become even more important in our daily routines. Nothing can stop the resilience and positive attitudes we see in our kids, and I’m so proud of both our athletes and our coaches!”

—Mrs. Cindy Coughlin, Athletic Director
Arts
PRIDE

“I always smile when I see students and faculty taking pride in what they do, especially when I see them on our stage, singing, dancing, and acting; or in our studios, creating and making art. EHS is all about getting involved and finding passions."

—Mr. Will Gelinas, Performing Arts Teacher
Student Life
ROOTED

“The root system of a tree keeps it grounded, stabilizes it, and provides the nutrients needed to grow. The harder the winds blow, the stronger the roots get. For me, EHS is that root system—giving students and faculty a solid foundation and the nutrients for growth. We have also learned that the tougher the times, the stronger we get! We build a support system for life here, and for those of us who met our spouses here, that can be quite literal!”

—Mrs. Kristyl Kelly, Assistant Head of School for Student Life
Summer
CONNECTIONS

“The summer school program at Eagle Hill is where students meet teachers who understand their need to explore and have fun. The connections you make here last a lifetime. It's a summer experience like no other!”

—Ms. Stephanie Whitaker. Pragmatics Department Chair and Academic Advisor

What Can You Say in a Few Words?

What Can You Say in a Few Words?

In Mrs. Jessica Geary and Dr. Tony McCaffrey’s Writing and Making Studio course, students were posed a thought-provoking question as they began a project - What Can You Say in a Few Words?

In combination with their learning of the online graphic design service Canva, students were asked to think of a meaningful quote in only six words. Once they created their short memoirs and took inspiring photos, each student produced a personal meme (a graphic with text overlayed on top) using the program.

Through online research, the students looked to verify that their quotes were original creations. In this unique project, EHS students demonstrated their proficiency in the Canva design program and their ability to convey deep meaning in their powerful images and captions. This collaboration between content and design has existed in many of our course offerings this year, leading to notable work from our community.

Check out the creations below!
