Dear Prospective Hanger Hall Families,

Hello!   You most likely found yourself at our website as you are researching middle school options for your daughter.  No doubt you have begun to experience the thrill-ride of the tween years, and it has you thinking about the type of learning environment that will be most empowering for your daughter.  Beyond the academics you may be wondering about the kinds of activities that will serve to build your daughter’s self-confidence and self-esteem both in and out of the classroom.  You may be looking for a school that is committed to the social emotional development of your girl.  Perhaps you are curious about single-gender education. Or quite simply you may be seeking an environment that encourages your daughter to be curious, explore new adventures,  discover her inner passions and gifts, all within an nurturing, happy, and safe environment.  If you are looking for all of these opportunities Hanger Hall is the place for your daughter.  Did you know we literally wrote the book about teaching and nurturing middle school girls?  In 2008 our founder, Howard Hanger, and Dr. Vicki Garlock wrote and copyrighted “A Precious Window of Time: A Manual for Teaching and Nurturing Middle School Girls.”   I would like to extend an invitation to you to visit and discover first-hand  more about us as a school and  our philosophy about girls in their middle school years.  Even better I invite you to attend one of our Open House sessions on Thursday, January 18th at 9:30am or Thursday, March 8th at 6:30pm.  This is an opportunity  to hear directly from our teachers and our girls about their personal Hanger Hall experience, and then to explore if this is the middle school experience that you want to gift your daughter!  If you cannot make the Open House just give us a call at 828-258-3600 to set-up a tour!  #HangerHallGirls  #HangerHallGradGirls  #WeWroteTheBook

Gratefully,

Catherine A. McClain
