Where Humanity and Achievement Ring True.
Where are you going? Where do you want to go?
If you’re looking for a new direction, Hebron
Academy is a great place to start. We’re an
independent, coed, college preparatory boarding
and day school in southern Maine that’s like a small
village. With 250 students, it’s a place where friends
live, study, eat, work and have fun together. The
school’s rolling green lawns are set on a 1,500-acre
campus that includes two mountains, three ponds
and miles of hiking trails.
This book will take you on a guided tour of Hebron
Academy to give you a feel for what it’s like to take
classes, compete on athletic teams, create through
the arts, be a part of a community and have fun.
Let’s begin our tour.

Hebron Academy is a college preparatory school; everything
you will do here is with that goal in mind. You’ll be challenged in the
classroom—probably more than ever before. But with an average of
12 students in a class, you’ll also be more engaged in learning than
ever before. Most classes are taught seminar style, with an emphasis
on discussion. You won’t be an observer in your education; you’ll be
an active participant.
“My experience at Hebron
has been all about learning
from multiple dimensions.
Last year I sewed a wedding
dress in my fashion design
independent study, but I
used integral calculus to
determine the displacement
of fabric in the pleats and
the yardage I’d need to
make the dress. Through all
that intense math applied
to fashion, I gained a much
clearer understanding of
both subjects.” erIC b., senIOr (HOLLIs, nH)

Academics at Hebron are personal. You’ll find we’re
able to meet you where you are and help you design
a program of study that will make you stretch.
Hebron’s faculty is the engine that drives this
experience. Because most teachers live on campus,
they’re able to give an extraordinary amount of one-
on-one time to students in and out of the classroom,
whether it’s working through an algebra problem
over lunch or reviewing Spanish verb tenses in the
common room after dinner.
Through this personal program of study, you’ll dis-
cover things about yourself; you’ll offer your opin-
ion in class, take an Advanced Placement course or
maybe contribute a poem to the literary magazine.
Hebron is the place where you’ll learn to really
study, solve problems and write. Here, you’ll find
your own voice and define your own success. How
do we know? Because we hear it again and again
from graduates: “I learned how to learn at Hebron.”
“Hebron made all the difference for me. Hebron
showed me I could be successful.” Hebron offers
several special programs designed for students with
specific interests and needs. These include:
FreSh ConneCtionS Incoming ninth graders

riculum in Fresh Connections, Hebron’s unique

emphasis on peer-led discussion, writing in a variety
of forms, and developing Modern Language Associa-
tion (MLA) research techniques. Dive into Homer’s
Odyssey while interpreting the rise and fall of Ancient
Greece; dissect T’ang poetry en route to Chang’an,
China; and re-enact the works of Shakespeare while
chronicling the origins of the Renaissance.
Outside the classroom, you’ll learn how to cultivate
communication and independent decision-making
skills through co-curricular programs such as Health
Topics, and you’ll partake in fun events with your
classmates and core of advisors. Fresh Connections
also offers a mandatory study-skills seminar led by
the Academic Guidance Center (AGC), teaching
students new to a residential school setting how to
manage their time, prioritize and study effectively.4

David
“Academics at Hebron
are about being part of a
discussion. Small classes
give everyone a chance to
be heard and challenge
each other, and teachers
are interested in what we
have to say. My favorite
class so far has been history
with Mr. Middleton in
the Fresh Connections
program. I’ve always loved
the subject, but Mr. Midd
makes it exciting and
unpredictable. I never feel
like I’m being talked at.”
DaviD, Sophomore
What David wants you to know about Hebron:
playing sports at hebron has been an awesome ex-perience. Different sports will expose you to different people who will become your friends over the course of the season. You’ll build new friends on each team and keep old ones from the previous teams. You’ll also grow close with your coaches, who you may not have the chance to experience as teachers.
David’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:
1. When you do your homework, start with the hardest subject first. You’ll have the most energy to tackle it, and you’ll be glad when you’re done.
2. Get out of your dorm room. hebron has a great small town feel, where people look out for each other. Don’t be afraid to step out and be social. The people are the best part of the experience.
3. Learn about hebron’s history. The school has unique traditions, and you’ll feel closer to the community if you know its roots. Start by learning the hebron hymn.
4. Welcome the snow. There’s no way out of it, so you might as well try joining a weekend trip with the outing Club and take a free ski or snowboard lesson.
5. Call your parents. When you’re living away from home for the first time, it’s easy to get caught up in how busy hebron keeps you.

PoStgrAduAte ProgrAm Each fall 15 to 20
students join the Hebron community for an extra
year of high school study. Postgraduates (PGs) have
the opportunity to accomplish their individual goals
while benefiting from the structure of Hebron’s
close-knit environment and rigorous academic
program. At Hebron, postgrads develop personally,
strengthen their academic standing and athletic
focus, and improve SAT scores to advance their
college prospects. We offer a PG English course that
focuses on college-level writing and reading as well
as a college review math course. Hebron’s PG Project
is both an academic and personal highlight for our
postgrads that takes them out of the classroom and
into the real world. Students become entrepreneurs,
designing a semester-long independent study and
reporting every step of the way through blog posts
twice a week and a final presentation to the school.
Grow a garden, direct a play, or learn guitar. At
Hebron, PGs learn by experience and become their
own self-advocates.
entrePreneurShiP ProgrAm Hebron’s
Entrepreneurship Program gives motivated upper-
classmen the chance to launch their own small
business for academic credit and diversify their
course loads. Student teams take an idea from con-
cept through start-up, designing and implement-
ing a business plan right on the Hebron campus.
Hebron entrepreneurs are responsible for the sales,
financing, marketing, advertising, tracking and sus-
tainability of their product or service—a broadcast-
worthy commercial is even part of the mix. Teams
hear from guest judges who come to Hebron to ad-
vise on risk management, creating a business plan,
borrowing and investing, and marketing. Past proj-
ects have included a snack-catering business in the
dorms, limited edition t-shirts and a campus-wide
movie rental service. Teamwork and imagination
are the only prerequisites.

CAreer ConneCtion SeminArS Hebron
is committed to equipping students with life skills
that transcend classroom walls. Now more than
ever, our graduates will need to be able to navigate
the rapidly evolving professional, economic and
social climates that lie ahead. That’s why we’ve
designed the Career Connection Seminars, an after-
noon of networking and discussion opportunities
hosted by alumni and parents for Hebron seniors
and postgrads. Students sign up for hour-long ses-
sions about everything from starting a business to
nailing your first interview, pushing them to think
beyond Hebron. “How do I get an internship?”
“What makes a good resume?” “How can I use social
media tools to network?” Students even get a taste of
industry perks: personalized business cards, name
placards and portfolios. The day ends with a keynote
address at a formal dinner with guest presenters and
the Head of School.

Here you’ll find students from countries such as
Japan, Poland, Brazil, China, Germany, Mexico,

international students in their transition to Hebron

program. Here, students benefit from specialized
courses in literature and composition, science and

listening carefully, sequencing ideas in different
types of writing, as well as public speaking and

Kelli
“Athletics here are all about
the team mentality. Hebron
makes trying a new sport an
easy decision because skill
level is less important than
what you gain from working
with your teammates and
building friendships. Show
up to practice with an open
mind and leave the teaching
to the coaches. You’ll be
proud of yourself for trying
something new, and you’ll
never forget the first time
you rang the Victory Bell!”
KeLLi, SeNior
What Kelli wants you to know about Hebron:
hebron is a big family. i came from a school with more than 1,000 kids, so coming here was eye opening. in my first few weeks, i remember passing by people i didn’t know who came right up to me and started a conversa-tion—i had never had that experience before, but that’s the expectation here. No one is anonymous.
Kelli’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:
1. pick up a new sport. i had never tried lacrosse be-fore, and now it’s my favorite of the three i play— you never know!
2. Build a daily routine. By living away from home, you have more independence, and chances are you’ll be much busier here than you can prepare for! having a routine allows you to plan ahead.
3. Do homework in pieces. hebron academics are challenging, and homework is designed to make you think. Get started on the following day’s assign-ments during your free periods. That way, you’ll have less when you sit down for study hall at night.
4. run for student government. if you want a stake in how hebron operates, be a class officer. organize fundraisers and events, and be involved with what’s happening in the administration.

“i’m really happy with the memories i’ve made with the hebron football team, from the draining two-a-days to the bittersweet moment of returning equipment at the end of the season; and from the biggest parts of the game, like the brotherhood formed between our teammates, to even the smallest details, like the smell of fresh cut grass on the field.” jAke t., senIOr (COLumbus, OH)

Talk to Hebron students and you’ll
find that most of them love playing
sports. Why? For one thing, it’s the
best way to get involved and make
friends fast, even if it means picking
up a sport you’ve never played. But
more importantly, it’s because there’s a
place for everyone here, from the most
competitive athlete looking to take her
talents to an NCAA college program to
the novice who’s never held a tennis
racket or stuck his feet in ski boots.
All are welcome, all compete.
Our mascot is the Lumberjack, and we
play prep schools from all over New
England. Hebron coaches are also
teachers, and they view athletics as an-
other learning opportunity. They’ll get
to know you in a whole new way.
And whether you play on the varsity
or junior varsity team, you’ll enjoy the
benefits of athletics—physical fitness
and the camaraderie that comes from
working together toward a common
purpose. You’ll also learn the satisfac-
tion that comes from reaching personal
goals and from ringing the Victory Bell.
Lumberjack Success At Hebron, we’re proud of our
Lumberjacks. We field competitive teams in 14 sports and love adding trophies to our shelves. recent ’jacks successes include:

Blaze new trailsHebron Academy is Maine at its best. The first thing
you’ll notice when you come to campus is green ev-
erywhere: trees, fields, hills and trails—1,500 acres
of lakes and mountains for you to uncover. The best
way to take advantage of Hebron’s greatest asset is
through Trailblazing, Hebron’s outdoor skills activ-
ity offered all seasons. After classes each day, you’ll
canoe, hike, ski, snowshoe or rock climb with your
friends for the afternoon. On Mountain Day, classes
come to a halt and the whole Hebron community
caravans to a nearby peak for a day on the slopes.
You’ll also take part in Outing Club, which meets on
weekends and is open to all Hebron students. You’ll
embark on day and overnight trips to the moun-
tains and lakeside campgrounds, go ziplining and
white-water rafting, or belay from a sheer rock face.
Mr. Brouwer and other teachers will show you how
to orienteer using a compass, paddle a kayak and
construct a campsite from scratch. In the winter,
check out Hebron’s cross-country trails or throw on
snowshoes and experience the woods in a whole
new way. Mostly, you’ll find that Trailblazing is a
great opportunity to get out of the classroom with
friends and open your eyes to the natural beauty
around you.
Where we play
Hebron’s Athletic Center opened in 2008
and plays host to almost all our sports and
activities, rain or shine. A 30-foot rock wall,
squash courts, workout center encased in
floor-to-ceiling windows, elevated track
and green-friendly technology are just a
few of the perks in the AC. No matter the
elements outdoors, there is always space to
break a sweat or just play around.
Hebron’s Athletic Center is 54,000 square feet. What does that mean? ImaginefourOlympic-sizedswimmingpools placed next to each other, and then add a few lanes.

Arts: Avenues for all
The arts are alive at Hebron. It’s apparent once you
set foot on campus and see student creations adorn-
ing walls in classroom buildings and common areas.
Sit in on a school meeting and enjoy a morning
duet from your classmates or a personal composi-
tion from a teacher. Venture to the music rooms and
you’ll hear everything from hip-hop to classical to
jazz coming from the rehearsal rooms and prac-
tice spaces. Though only one visual or performing
arts credit is required, at any given time nearly two
thirds of all students are enrolled in an arts course.
Hebron embraces art in all its forms and dedicates
academic periods to rehearsals and lessons in addi-
tion to regularly scheduled courses like Printmaking
and Studio Recording. If you want to pursue a field
for which Hebron doesn’t have a class, work with
a faculty advisor and design an independent study
from your own imagination for course credit. At
Hebron, there’s always a way to make it work.
The arts at Hebron will take you out of the classroom
to let you find inspiration in your surroundings.
Photography, Printmaking, Music Theory and Jazz
Band are just samplings of what’s offered. If you love
the stage, you can become a member of the Hebron
Academy Players or join the beloved One-Act Plays
that happen in the spring, no acting experience
needed. If you’d prefer to start as a spectator, take in
your classmates’ performances and the professional
talent that comes to campus to perform for the
community.
For some, art is an established way of life, and for
others it’s a welcome change in routine. Whatever
your level, you’ll find faculty who will encourage
you to reach your highest potential or begin your
artistic journey.

Olivia
“Art at Hebron takes lots of
different shapes. It’s built into
the daily schedule but it goes
way beyond the classroom.
Students perform at morning
meeting; athletes and
teachers join the all-school
musical; and each one of us
is encouraged to share our
work in galleries off campus
or in national competitions.
Personally I love painting but
I’m also getting into design
and music. There are so many
possibilities, and the faculty
make it fun and relaxing.”
oLivia, FreShmaN
What Olivia wants you to know about Hebron:
You may think that to get the most out of being here you have to live on campus, but i find that those op-portunities are available to day students, too, thanks to really supportive faculty who go the extra mile to help you out or include you. Teachers are always ac-cessible for anything, and it doesn’t have to be related to homework. They’re real people.
Olivia’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:
1. if you’re a day student, a couple times a month stick around after classes and sports are over. it’s a great time to get extra help with teachers in a relaxed set-ting and join dorm activities, like pumpkin carving or ice cream trips. Being part of what goes on around campus after the school day ends adds a lot to your experience.
2. pick up a new art form—the art Department is one of the friendliest places on campus and is always open to students who want to get creative. You don’t have to know what you’re doing—the teachers are always there to help you out.
3. Take advantage of field trips. Throughout the year, different teachers and departments take students to cool places like the museum of Fine arts or the museum of Science in Boston. They’re opportunities for hands-on learning and a nice change of scenery, especially for international students.

geographic location where you live or the people you interact with every

Small community = big opportunities. With just
under 300 people on campus, each individual’s
contribution is felt. Join groups or activities that suit
your interests, but don’t hesitate to start your own.
Students agree that not only does getting involved in
co-curriculars help structure your time, but it’s first
and foremost the best way to make friends. You’ll
meet kids with shared interests initially, but you’ll
also encounter many with backgrounds different
from yours. Because the community is small and
mostly residential, you’ll really get to know people
whom you may never have otherwise. That’s what
makes Hebron special.
The Hebron community extends beyond campus
boundaries. Students and faculty uphold the impor-

the door for the person behind you, tutoring chil-

In the fall, the entire Hebron population piles into
buses and treks across the state to serve areas in
need during All-School Community Service Day.
Teams clean up beaches, plant gardens, read to the
elderly, and develop civic responsibility through ac-
tion. In the spring, Senior Week is made memorable
not only through the joy of white-water rafting and
theme parks, but also through days spent giving
back to a broader community from which seniors
will soon depart.

Makoto
“Like some students from
other countries, I wasn’t
able to visit Hebron before
attending. When I came
here for the first time, I was
nervous, but it didn’t take
long for me to recognize the
kindness here. Teachers
and students are friends. I
went running each week
with my math teacher and
his dog to train for cross-
country, and I improved
my English by playing card
games with my ELL teacher.
You can be yourself while
also being part of the team.”
maKoTo, Sophomore
What Makoto wants you to know about Hebron:
Back home in Tokyo, there were buildings everywhere and very few trees or open space—i felt boxed in. Coming to hebron, i saw stars for the first time. i have taken advantage of the campus and surrounding area as much as possible, whether i’m running cross-country in the fall or skiing every day in the winter. Sometimes we even have class outdoors when the weather is nice. The physical environment at hebron is as much a part of the community as the people are.
Makoto’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:
1. make friends with day students and get off campus once in a while. They love hosting boarders at their house for a weekend.
2. Join a sports team in the fall. even if you don’t play a sport that’s usually offered in autumn, sign up for one so that you can come to hebron before things get really busy. You’ll get a head start on living in a dorm and making friends. plus, sports are a common language among everyone!
3. Share your culture. if you’re an international student, use opportunities like international Dinner to teach your classmates about where you come from.
4. if you’re an international student, avoid speaking your native language too often. You will have plenty of support from the eLL program and advisors. it helps to sit with kids who aren’t from your country at meals.

sell, collecting books, hosting bake sales and raffles,
and collaborating with peer schools on special proj-
ects. Serving the community is a key component
of Hebron’s residential life and advisory programs,
providing meaningful off-campus experiences for
Hebron students.
There are plenty of ways to feel part of the Hebron
community that are built into the academic week.
Here are just a few:
• Beat the Beard—Student-teacher contests held
at school meetings. Read more in “Lumberjack
Lingo” in the back of this guide.
• Cohen Concert Series
• Community service trips
• international dinner—Students from abroad
replicate native cuisine and put on a feast for the
whole school.
• the last Word
• lumberjack day—Learn more on page 30.
• mountain day
• musical mondays—Students, teachers and
staff are invited to perform a number at school
meeting to commence the week on a high note.
• Sit-down dinner—Once a week, boarding
students dine beside faculty at small tables for
some extra catch-up time.
Seniors have “The Last Word”
each member of the senior class takes to the stage and addresses the school community in a public speaking exercise called “the Last Word,” a special Hebron tradition. the topic is entirely up to the presenter, who works with his or her advisor to practice and prepare a two- to four-minute speech delivered during school meetings. It may sound scary, but any recent Hebron grad will tell you how amazingyou’llfeelafterward.
• Spirit Week—Organized three times a year by
the Community Life Team, students and faculty
dress up according to a different theme each day
of the week.
• yovic Speaker Series—Experts come to campus
and speak to Hebron students about topics like
social responsibility and the environment each
trimester.
• zombie Walk—Yep, it’s the walk of the undead.
Students and teachers are divided into walkers,
runners and zombies and dress accordingly.
What’s it like to live at school?
When you first get to campus, you’ll be greeted by
student dorm proctors and resident faculty who’ll
help you move in and get settled. Meetings, activi-
ties and ice breakers will get you acquainted with
all the students in your dorm, and pretty soon you’ll
have a daily routine of getting up, eating breakfast in
the Dining Hall, and going to class and sports with
your hall mates. Faculty members live on each floor
and serve as major supports in adjusting to living
on campus. After a few weeks they’ll feel like family
looking out for your best interest.
What’s great about living in residence is the range
of people you’ll befriend. Time spent in the dorm
between classes, on weekends and after hours is
when you really get to know each other, but there’s
always plenty to do outside your room. You’ll find
games of Ultimate Frisbee in the Bowl after dinner
“Fresh off the plane from nevada i see a man [mr. moose] holding a sign with my name on it. he greeted me with a big smile and a ‘hello.’ that made me relax a lot. during the ride to hebron i’m thinking ‘Will i fit in?’ ‘What’s the weather like?’ ‘Why are there so many trees?’ the adjustment to hebron was much smoother than i thought it could be.” rOyCe F., senIOr (LAs vegAs, nv)
A home in Hebron
or student-teacher art shows and performances to
attend in the Lepage Center for the Arts; if you pre-
fer to simply hang out and grab a snack, head to the
Union. During post-season, buses will take fans off
campus to cheer on their fellow Lumberjacks and
enjoy some time away. You’ll benefit from a healthy
combination of structure, fun and independence in
a close-knit community.

Where we live two-thirds of Hebron students live
on campus in one of three dormitories:
• Atwood hall is for freshman and sophomore boys new to Hebron. Atwood is a smaller dorm that engenders a sense of closeness key to new students’ Hebron experience. dorm Head “ms. g-L” is a longtime faculty member and Atwood resident who enacts structure and fun.
• UpperclassboysliveinSturtevant home. While sturtevant is the biggest dorm on campus, halls are mixed by grade level, promoting interaction between students of all ages and interests. A faculty apartment anchors either end of each hall on all floors, so dorm parents are just a few steps away—often with snacks or answers to homework questions.
• Girlsliveinhalford hall, located next to the Athletic Center. Floors in Halford are mixed among grade levels. young ladies enjoy spa nights, movie nights and special outings just for the female community.
The meaning of LIFEHebron’s LIFe program is the cornerstone of our students’ residential living experience. LIFe stands for “living in a Family environment,” a curriculum designed to help all Hebron students communicate effectively with their peers andelders,becomeaccountablecitizensofacommunity, challenge one another intellectually and have fun. At LIFe weekly meetings boarders break into small discussion teams or outing groups.
Faculty members and guest speakers facilitate intense dialogue about a chosen theme, such as diversity, substance abuse or post-secondary education. LIFe meetings take the shape of exciting activities, off-campus learning opportunities and community service. All participants benefit from the freedom to express views and learn from one another in a safe, friendly atmosphere.

Hebron weekends are what you want them to be:
downtime, action-packed madness, or a break from
being on campus. Hang out with friends in the dorm
and watch movies on a rainy day; go ziplining or
apple picking nearby; or head to the city for a Port-
land Pirates hockey game. Hebron’s Community
Life Team collaborates with you, the participant, to
organize outings and activities that interest, stimu-
late and never bore.
Weekends provide opportunities for you to catch up
on much needed rest, spend time with day students,

You don’t have to go it alone at Hebron. If you need help or
have a question, you’ll find there’s a faculty member close by. Teachers
live in the dorms, eat in the Dining Hall, coach teams and serve as advi-
sors. Interacting with faculty in so many different ways gives you plenty
of opportunity to talk with adults, to get advice or seek out an opinion.
“The school atmosphere is
positive and inclusive, and
it’s clear that members of
the faculty and staff are very
caring. There’s a great deal
of academic and individual
confidence building at
Hebron.” jOHn dOnAHue ’84,

Hebron is a place where you’re known by name
from your first day. Faculty get to know where you’re
from, your strengths and your struggles. In addition
to the network you’ll start building within your first
week on campus, Hebron offers specific support to
all students, such as:
AdViSing As an incoming student, you’re as-
signed an advisor who’ll ease your transition to life
at Hebron. You’ll meet weekly on Tuesday mornings
in small groups (sometimes on their couch, in their
kitchen or on their porch) and sit together at school
meetings three times a week. Advisory groups are
close-knit and tend to be made up of students and
faculty members with shared interests; you’ll spend
time together off campus grabbing ice cream or
catching a movie, in addition to checking in on your
grades and how you’re adjusting to school. Your ad-
Support: At every turn
visor is one great resource of many available to you
at Hebron, and he or she is always just a few steps
away.
ACAdemiC guidAnCe Center (AgC) Need
some extra time to finish tests? Unsure of how to
approach your homework? Is there a certain subject
that leaves you stumped? Hebron’s Academic Guid-
ance Center is designed to support students with
learning differences or who need help developing
better study strategies and organizational skills.
The AGC offers skills seminars to incoming fresh-
men and sophomores, SAT preparation courses
and structured and assisted study halls. If you need
more consistent help, regular periods during the
school day are reserved for Academic Guidance,
where you can meet with your team of coaches to
get a head start on coursework and find answers
Being at hebron made the difference for me between going to school in Canada and accomplishing my dream here in the States. At hebron there is a small school population, so you get the time and attention from teachers, coaches, college advisors, and even the higher-ups like the head of School. it’s a privilege for a student to be at an institution where the headmaster and your college advisor will make calls to universities on your behalf. that personal touch makes a big difference in the college application process.” mIke F., pOstgrAduAte

Dan
“The support you get at Hebron
lets you thrive. I get support
through Study Hall, the
Academic Guidance Center,
my weekly advisory group, my
teachers, my coaches, my dorm
parents and even the college
counseling office. Hebron’s
teachers and staff are experts
at teaching to the individual
because they get to know us at
such a personal level. They’re
a big safety net that helps me
recognize my strengths and
weaknesses and then work on
them.” DaN, JUNior
What Dan wants you to know about Hebron:
having Study hall each night during the week is really helpful. it lets you fully dedicate yourself to one thing: getting your homework done. most people at hebron are involved in a bunch of activities that keep their minds busy all day, but Study hall in your dorm room quiets your brain and lets you be productive. That structure is important for kids new to boarding, and there’s always a teacher on duty just a few feet away for support. even though you’re working independently, you don’t ever feel stuck.
Dan’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:
1. Smile and say hello. When i first toured hebron, what i noticed right away was how welcoming people were—they stopped their conversations just to greet my family and me. if you’re kind to everyone, you’ll make friends easily and get more out of your time here.
2. Check out the academic Guidance Center (aGC). even if you’re not assigned to it, it’s a great resource for studying tips, getting feedback on a paper, or learning how to manage your time.
3. ask for extra help. Teachers are supportive, acces-sible and there to help you; you just have to speak up.

Favorite HebroN traditioN: musical mondays. We didn’t have morning meetings at my old school, only advisory meetings. We never got to be with the whole community in one place, but musical mondays are great because you get to see how musically talented people are. it’s nice to see them get a piece of the spotlight.

to questions that arise. The AGC’s team approach
ensures that you’re always in touch with faculty who
can help you address all areas that need attention
and stay in control of your workload.
College CounSeling Hebron’s college
counselors work with students and their fami-
lies beginning in earnest the fall of junior year.
Through formal programs and self-assessments,
you’ll narrow your choices to find the colleges and
universities that best fit your interests and abilities.
Consistent meetings with your counselor address
everything from how to break down an applica-
tion to effective interviewing and how to boost SAT
scores. You’ll have the chance to travel to college
fairs and meet with representatives who come to
campus each year. Parents may also attend Hebron
seminars and events that address questions specific
to your child and provide exposure to authorities
in the field, including admission officers from local
colleges. Throughout the process, students maintain
constant contact with their counselor, advisor and
family.
teChnology Hebron embraces technology as
a means for students, faculty and parents to stay
connected, be productive and enhance learning. In
addition to the 60-plus Macs and PCs in campus
computer labs, as well as Smartboards and
projectors, technology has given rise to an entire
curriculum unique to Hebron. Produce short films
or commercials using iMovie in Digital Media or
dive into the language of computer processing with
Java in Computer Science. Students, teachers and
parents are in constant communication thanks to
Hebron’s online portal, a personalized dashboard
accessing grades, assignments, schedules, media
and more. So, if you missed class for a college visit,
check the Portal to get your homework, or email
your teacher using campus-wide WiFi on your
laptop.
