No single voice could capture the meaning of Seven Hills. We collected a wide array of voices from the past 50 years to tell their and the school’s stories for themselves. The following stories are those of students, teachers, staff, alumni, parents, and administrators — with many of these individuals having worn several of those hats — and are intended to represent every aspect of the essence and meaning of Seven Hills.
If you would like to submit a story, we would love to hear from you.
