College Life

HSC is committed to fostering leadership, academic excellence and community involvement in an environment that prepares students for academic and personal success and active citizenship. We offer programming that nourishes the mind, body and spirit of every student who joins our family.

We believe that a connected and caring community is bonded for life through shared experiences and an enduring commitment to our Mission, Vision and Values. Every student at HSC should enjoy our school equally and feel safe and accepted. In turn, each student has the responsibility to contribute in a positive way to the broader learning community. 

The College promotes and provides students with opportunities for community gatherings, service learning, leadership skill development, philanthropic experiences and outdoor education. Through these experiences, students expand their horizons beyond the classroom and learn to participate fully in life.
