Just your average Tuesday . . .


There is a breathtaking variety to the events in a day at Nathan Hale. Today, after a long weekend and on the first day of a new semester, I saw:



  • Students preparing to read Siddhartha by analyzing sentences from the first chapter to predict the trajectory of the story.

  • Students learning to make a pinhole camera.

  • Students playing basketball against Ingraham High School.

  • Students performing in the now legendary totally student-produced Hale Fest Rawk (yes, that's rawk) concert.
Wednesday and Thursday, January 30th and 31st, are our first school tours for prospective students. Tours begin at 8:30 in the Performing Arts Center.

Mark your calendars for our production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, February 14th through the 16th.

And finally, congratulations to Nathan Hale's own Hoover Hopkins, who was named Division II Coach of the Year this weekend. Hoover will be coaching the all-star game in July. Hoover is committed to creating scholar athletes who know that they have a responsibility to be honorable, thinking, skillful citizens.
