I think Hn was a really great prep environment for college and I tailored my path to what would help me in college. I just wish they had a philosophy class.

The teachers do not seem to be very enthusiastic about what they are teaching. Seem to be going through the motions which can make learning difficult.

If your kid is talented, smart, and athletic go ahead and send them here. If your child has an ounce of creative being, or does not follow the mainstream, and/or LGBTQ+ they WILL be bullied and the teachers will most likely let it happen. If you love your kid and they are different, don’t send them...

This school preaches no bullying and fair treatment for all however its laughable. A girl bullied another girl for being overweight. However instead of doing anything about it they let it go, because the bully's parents donate money. Disgusting behavior.

One of the worst choices I’ve made in my life is going to this school due to the terrible teaching and very outdated infrastructure.
