Spirit of the Hawk On Wednesday, Mr. Sedgwick’s American studies class visited the writing center at West Chester University. Mr. Sedgwick was impressed by one student who did such a good job of putting themselves on the line by asking so many interesting questions. Congrats to Francois F. who received a spirit of the hawk for leadership and courage!
Ski Trip On Wednesday, a group of adventurous students joined Mr. VanDyke and Mr. Smallwood for a day on the slopes at Blue Mountain. While we haven't had the best weather for skiing and boarding, our students made the most of this opportunity to carve some turns. Even when the snow flurries turned to sleet and then to rain later in the day, our students kept at it and had a blast! Congrats to Connor, Alastair, Ben A., Nick, Zach, Max H. and Noah K. for a great day on the slopes! Look for some pics on social media coming soon!

Family Fun Friday at the Phillies-6/9! We are excited to announce our annual FAMILY FUN FRIDAY at the Phillies! (or should it be Phamily Phun Phriday?).
Join us as we see OUR NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION Philadelphia Phillies take on our west coast rivals, the LA Dodgers, on Friday, June 9 at 7:05. We have tickets in Section 137, right down the 3rd baseline/right field foul grounds, with easy access to concessions. It's also Dick Allen Bobblehead night, so there's a bonus!
This is an event for the entire Hill Top Community--students, families, alumni, faculty, you name it! Students are expected to attend with their family or friends. Transportation is not provided.
Tickets are $60 each. Please complete the google form here if you would like to reserve your tickets: Phillies Tickets! We have a large number of tickets available, but in the event that interest is exceptionally high, it may be difficult for us to get more tickets due to the high demand of this particular game.
