Hot Mess


Eagle Hill School’s Jam Band “Hot Mess” worked incredibly hard this year learning and perfecting twelve songs getting ready for performance and recording at the studio.

One of these songs was “Renegades” by the X Ambassadors.

Hot Mess practiced together throughout distance learning, and when it became clear we would not be able to return to campus or record in a studio this year, they worked on developing a plan to record “Renegades” virtually to be released as a single.

Congratulations to Hot Mess for all their hard work, dedication to the group, and their wonderful music!

What is Learning Diversity About?

Learning Diversity is a blog hosted by Eagle Hill School where educators, students, and other members of the LD community regularly contribute posts and critical essays about learning and living in spaces that privilege the inevitability of human diversity.

The contributors of Learning Diversity come together to engage our readers from a variety of disciplines, including the humanities, social sciences, biological sciences and mathematics, athletics, and residential life. Embracing learning diversity means understanding and respecting our students as whole persons.
