1399 Club members with Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty

Each spring, The Hill School presents the Sixth Form Leadership Award to a Hill alumnus proven to be an exemplary leader and true role model for students in his or her vocation. Award winners represent excellence in fields including government, industry, education and letters, the arts, and community service. The recipient's selection underscores the value of leadership-building qualities inherent in a Hill School education. Following presentation of the award, the honored man or woman speaks to all Hill students and faculty, then meets with sixth formers during a private reception.

The 2008 recipients of this honor were The "1399 Club" - the 13 female members of the class of 1999, the School’s first coeducational class to graduate from The Hill. Please click here to read more.
