Turkey Tango!

Giving Season

The Upper School service club organized a Hillsdale Campus-wide canned food drive for Our Daily Bread, a soup kitchen and social center in Over-the-Rhine. In addition to canned food, the Seven Hills community donated kitchen and coffee supplies and cold weather gear, like ponchos and hand warmers.

Preview days!

Over the course of two days, the eighth grade class — the Seven Hills Class of 2027 — had their first taste of life at the Upper School. The students were welcomed in The Schiff Center by Head of Upper School Matt Bolton and told about the class requirements, college counseling process, Personal Challenge projects, and community service hours. The eighth graders attended Upper School classes throughout the day and at lunch got to experience the Upper School clubs, which all meet during the two preview days. The seniors hosted an ice cream social in the Hillsdale Commons to share their experiences and answer questions about life at the Upper School. The eighth graders capped off their day by attending Personal Challenge sharing presentations throughout the Upper School.

Lotspeich and Doherty fifth graders visited the Middle School during their preview day on Nov. 18. Students toured classes, watched instrumental ensemble and chorus practices, participated in a scavenger hunt, and asked about what life is like in Middle School.
