Hill School Chapel Talks
Attending Chapel is one of The Hill’s most treasured traditions. Sixth formers and faculty take to the lectern each week and offer the community the most inspiring, reflective, insightful, and sometimes comedic talks. Most are posted here on our website for all to enjoy. Take a listen - you won’t be disappointed.

My Middle of Somewhere: This Chapel talks focuses on the importance of community that has been found where I live and, in my time, here at Hill. Throughout my time at Hill, I have come to appreciate community, specifically the community of my small town.

The Fullness of Life: Growing up, I went through a lot of hardships regarding my identity and culture. As I've grown older, I have come to realize that the fullness of life lies in accepting yourself and appreciating your roots and how far you've come. My aim is that we can make Hillness better by finding the beauty in writing our own chapters in the books the alumni have contributed to making for us.

Special Moments in Time: Life is a beautiful gift that we get to experience every day of our lives and so we must live every day to its fullest. That means taking risks and failing along the way and as our lives change being present for the small but meaningful moments with those around us, because that's what makes life worth it.
