Our goal is to prepare our students to succeed in whatever direction they choose and, even more important, to set the foundation for a deeply fulfilled life rich with intellectual wonder, compassion, and creativity

We endeavor to provide the impetus for learning and obtaining knowledge that leads to a well-lived and meaningful life in harmony with one another. We strive to sharpen your intellect and cultivate your heart.

Students hone the analysis, synthesis, creative thinking and communication skills highly prized by employers and graduate programs such as business, law and medical schools.

HIS students study the human condition and cultural diversity through art history, history, literature, art, music, philosophy and language and examine the fundamental questions of humankind that shape our local and global communities.
