Dear Student and Families,

Iencourage you take some time to explore the stories that are woven through these pages. I believe you’ll discover a shared culture that exists for every member of our community. It is one of belonging. In images, you will see smiles, camaraderie, bold ventures, confident performances, and a grounded sense of place. Here on our campus, you feel it in the way our people build meaningful relationships and create a safe and highly engaging daily life and connection. It’s a culture we’ve nurtured for more than 200 years.

As an educator and parent, I know that choosing how, where, and with whom to spend your high school years is one of the most profound decisions you can make. In exchange, we will make a genuine investment in knowing, affirming, and respecting the value you will bring to our community.

We offer a richly designed environment of intellectual growth and exploration, but your educational path will be yours to define. Our role is to design intentional experiences and challenges that allow you to lose yourself in the intellectual pursuits, new ideas, and discussions that will help you write your own narrative. Our goal is to help you find learning both rich and rewarding so that you can develop the knowledge, voice, and character to find purpose in your life and make impact in the world.

I encourage you to come see Kimball Union for yourself. Meet our warm and welcoming faculty, our supportive coaches, and a community of students that can’t singularly be defined. They are here to welcome you, ignite your curiosity, and redefine what high school means for you.

I look forward to seeing you on The Hilltop!
