At HGP, boys grow into young men as confident in their love of music as in their passion for competition and as practiced in fine arts or drama as they are prepared in mathematics or physics. Offering the resources to explore

all facets of themselves and providing the opportunities for every kind of expression, HGP teaches that “coolness� is another word for confidence, and that confidence is the springboard to possibility.

Formula For Success The distance between learning to use freedom wisely and learning to act responsibly is equal to the distance between being a boy and becoming a young man.

Our 40-acre campus gives boys plenty of room to move, and with 40+ extra-curricular activities to choose from, they find even more room to grow. A daily 30-minute free period helps students learn to manage time responsibly.
