from the head of school what do i love about holderness? What has kept me coming back for years as a teacher and coach and dorm parent, and now as the Head of School? I think it comes down to the fact that Holderness is not simply a school; it’s a community. ¶ To join the Holderness community is to be intellectually passionate and always curious: to be a learner and thus a leader. It is to be public-spirited and always attentive to the needs of others; to be physically active and always in touch with the outdoors; to be artistically creative and always conscious of the power of intuition and imagination; and to be aware, finally, of the spiritual dimensions of the human experience. And, it is to do all of these things in the company of likeminded people who care about you. ¶ Don Henderson,

Community is at the center of everything here. At Holderness we begin with relationships—with the carefully tended bonds that unite us to friends, coaches and teachers. We learn each other’s names. We sit down to dinner together. We sing out the hol-der-ness cheer. ¶ Community is so important to us that

In addition, Holderness students also work with Philabundance, the city’s biggest distributor of food to shelters, soup kitchens, and struggling families. Participating in this program is one way of satisfying Holderness School’s graduation requirement in community service. More significantly, it serves to teach lessons about social responsibility and provides a tangible experience of the satisfaction of helping others.

The junior class, after thorough instruction in safety techniques by a team of well-trained faculty leaders, disperse into the White Mountains for a challenging -day outdoor camping experience. It is a powerful lesson in outdoor education and survival skills, including orienteering, snowshoeing, winter camping, and above all, team-building. Generations of Holderness students have worked through their initial nerves to find not only fun and success in Out Back, but feelings of pride and belonging that last a lifetime.
