This is preview of a document you will be receiving shortly as part of our request for donations to our Annual Campaign fund. At Nathan Hale we strive to live up to our mission statement every day: ALL students will become honorable, thinking, skillful citizens.
With State and District budget shortfalls and global economic uncertainty, it has never been more vital that we all contribute what we can to help keep our school strong. A strong education is the best gift we can give to our children.
Here are a few quotes from current Nathan Hale 11th and 12th graders regarding their Nathan Hale experience:
Nathan Hale has helped me grow into a well rounded student and thinker. I have learned to embrace my passions and confront challenges. I have been prepared for college and our growing world.
Throughout my time at Hale, I have become more of a global citizen. Through the combination of all my classes, I have become more accepting of other views and opinions, more aware of the problems and changes occurring around me, and more curious about what is to come in my time after I leave Hale.
At Hale I have been able to tailor my education to my own interests. My teachers facilitate my individual learning by letting me construct many assignments around my specific curiosities.
Sports have been a meaningful part of my experience at Nathan Hale. Being part of a team has allowed me to meet new people, gain new experiences, and challenge myself.
The kindness of students and staff has put a positive atmosphere throughout the halls of Nathan Hale.
At Hale I feel completely supported by peers and faculty alike, knowing that their current dedication to my achievement will continue guiding my success in the future.
The AP Environmental Science class went to the Olympic Park Institute in the fall of 2008 to study the effects of removing the Elwa River dams on the surrounding ecosystems. The trip gave us a chance to not only bond with our fellow classmates, but to apply what we had learned in class to an actual situation that fit into the “big picture”. We used data collection techniques that we had learned in class, and applied the five habits of mind to problem-solving situations.
The journalism program means a lot to me. It gives student voice to the school, among other things. The advisor spends dozens of hours per month, outside of regular hours, overseeing the process.
Thank you for giving what you can to help support innovative, creative, progressive schooling at Nathan Hale High School.
