As always, Hill will maintain our high standards and expectations in all areas: academic, spiritual, and social. Our goal is to give students the best high school experience we can provide in a safe environment.

To maintain social distancing, Hill has created two distinct, separate cohorts which will alternate between three and two days per week of in-person instruction. When learning remotely at home, students will livestream into their classes for synchronous learning using their laptops.
Half of the students will be on campus during any given school day. Students may opt to learn from home full-time, for five full days of remote instruction per week for the entire marking period, by parent choice.

To nourish the spiritual needs of students, a renovation of the school chapel is underway.
SAFETY
Hill's students and teachers are well-versed in the daily use of technology for remote learning. This allowed our emphasis in the past few months to be focused on safety preparations.
We have installed RGF Air Purification units, thermoscanners, and touchless faucets, paper towel, soap, and anti-bacterial dispensers throughout the High School building. And we have undergone and passed all inspections.
