HARPETH HALL
GLOSSARY Advisors and Advisory Groups
Middle School students are assigned an advisor every year, and Upper School students are assigned advisors for two years. The advisor serves as an academic counselor, student advocate, or a liaison between the student, parent, or another faculty member. Middle School students begin each day in advisory groups and also will meet once during the seven-day rotation. Upper School students meet with their advisory groups once a week during community time.
Angkor, Ariston, Eccowasin, and Triad
Harpeth Hall has four spirit clubs originating from our predecessor school, Ward-Belmont. Each student belongs to one of these clubs and participates in friendly athletic and academic competitions with the others. Students are randomly assigned to clubs unless the student has a family member who attended Harpeth Hall or Ward-Belmont and was in a specific club.

Athletic and Wellness Center
The AWC is the 60,000-square-foot fitness facility that includes the green gym, gray gym, and wellness, yoga, training, and weight rooms. Outdoor athletic spaces include the Dugan Davis Track and Soccer Complex, tennis facility, softball field, and a competition-size practice field.
The Bear Cave
Harpeth Hall technology support is located on the lower level of the library and is open every school day from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. when school is in session. Students may take their laptops to the Bear Cave for repair, troubleshooting, or questions. Most repairs will take place within the same day (often within the hour). In the event that a laptop requires more extensive repair, the student will be provided with a loaner laptop until hers can be returned.
