The first weeks of this school year have been nothing short of extraordinary as we celebrated the start of Eagle Hill’s 50th year of educating the whole child. From joyful reunions to new friendships, our campus has been alive with learning, laughter, and connection.
Before the first bell even rang, new students and families gathered for a relaxed morning of play, connection, and fun at Bruce Park. Joined by members of our faculty and the EHS Parents Association, this kickoff helped to ease the transition to school, foster new friendships, and set the tone for a joyful year ahead.
At the Welcome Back Parent Social, families reconnected and met new families while enjoying delicious bites and beverages from small businesses proudly owned by members of our EHS community. Back to School Night invited parents to step into their children’s shoes for an evening while following their schedules, meeting teachers, connecting with fellow families, and gaining a deeper understanding of the tailored academic program that defines the Eagle Hill experience.
Our 50th Golden Gala was a once-in-a-lifetime homecoming event that brought together more than 500 members of the Eagle Hill family- past and present- for a celebration of our history and community. The number of founding faculty, pioneer students, alumni, and their families who returned to campus to celebrate five decades of transformative education is a testament to the Eagle Hill magic: a community where everyone is valued and celebrated. Rounding out the festivities was one of our most beloved traditions: Family Fun Day. With games, music, inflatable obstacle courses, face painting, a dunk tank, and more, families came together to laugh, play, and celebrate what it means to be part of the Eagle Hill community.
As we look back on these memorable first weeks, we also look ahead with gratitude and excitement. Our 50th year is not only a celebration of where we’ve been but a promise for what lies ahead: a future filled with learning, joy, creativity, and the confidence to soar.
