We have our third child now at Hill-Murray and each has had different, but positive experiences at HM. Our oldest, a daughter, focused on volleyball and she adored many of the teachers and was challenged by all of them. She still talks about and has stayed in touch with one of her seventh grade teachers. Now she is a confident, verbal, socially-conscious second year law student and doing very well. Our second child, a son, snuck onto the football team after persuading my wife that he would just be a kicker. He was soon a starting receiver scoring touchdowns and enjoying the "ultimate team game" on Friday nights. Now a junior at Creighton, last year he came home and delivered a speech to the entire school body about what being a Pioneer meant to him. Our third child, a sophomore boy, is having a great time and excelling academically, athletically, and socially, despite covid. HM has made many positive changes over the years with communication and culture. Our family loves Hill-Murray!
There are so many things we love about Hill-Murray but number one is the teacher and administration responsiveness to concerns (not that there are many). I usually hear a response within 24-48 hours - amazing! Second, both my children have commented over and over about how kind everyone is, whether it be students or faculty, the school is living out their Benedictine values and it shows! The small class size, dedication to educating the heart, minds and spirits of the kids is apparent in so much of what they do in every little detail. We LOVE this school.
We have three recently through the entire grade structure. We originally came in new from the outside; it was and has remained a warm welcoming community. Of our three children one is a successful legal professional, one is an early Ph.D. candidate, and the youngest is extremely competitive in her first year of medical school. Because of their college preparation their academic effectiveness has made each child's out of pocket college tuition far less to even none in comparison to middle and high school. They have continued and grown in their co-curricula activities, volunteering and service. We're fortunate that each adult child enjoys a content stable personal relationship and a varied circle of engaging interesting friends. Each child has been far different from their sibling's. Regardless, each has found a place and their own personal path with relative equanimity and all the conscientious poise that goes with it via their unique Hill Murray experience.
