He is thankful to his parents and the Wallach family for this opportunity to attend The Hill.
I’ve grown so much as a student and as a person at Hill. I’ve learned to work hard and the power of incorporating the word 'yet' into my thoughts when facing challenges and obstacles.
Cameron Born '24
Cameron Born '24 arrived at The Hill in the fall of 2022 as a member of the fifth form.

Alex '23 and Kyle '22 Murray
We are deeply grateful to the Wallach family for the opportunity to be at Hill.”
Born in Beaufort, South Carolina, Kyle ’22 and Alex ’23 Murray have had the typical path of military children moving from place to place throughout their lives. Their father, Kevin, is a 1995 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and is a Colonel with the U.S. Marine Corps and currently is the director for science and technology for the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory in Quantico, Va. The Murray brothers and their family have lived in seven cities and the boys have attended six schools. The boys and their parents, Kevin and Maria, are excited for them to put down roots at Hill and take advantage of all Hill has to offer.
During his time at Hill, Kyle (who graduated in 2022) was a member of the varsity football and track and field teams, played the trombone in Jazz Ensemble, and was particularly interested in physics, history, and mathematics.
Alex is a member of the varsity football and track and field teams and also wrestles. He shares his brother's passion for history and the military.
