Harpeth Hall prepared me for life and college better than I knew at the time. There are so many great opportunities there – Winterim, all of the extra-curricular activities, the advanced classes, the diversity…. In addition, the setup of the school really encourages bonding of a class while learning. It encourages young women to be strong, independent, and smart, which is pretty unique for a high school to be able to do.
