Testimonials

We always love getting Hanger Hall graduates at Asheville High. They are so self-assured.

— Holly Harris, Guidance Counselor, Asheville High School

Hanger Hall has been a wonderful experience for our daughter who is now moving into her second year. The school’s academics are challenging and have helped my daughter to stretch and grow. Equally important is the academic, social and emotional support she is getting from her small class sizes, skillful teachers, and positive school environment. When you visit the school, it is immediately evident that girl power is alive and well at Hanger Hall. We can’t think of a better place to help our daughter grow into confident, capable woman!

— Toby and Jennifer Maurer, parents

Our daughter came to Hanger Hall in 7th grade. Before making the decision to come to HH, I talked with some of the teachers and staff at her middle school. They explained to me that many children at the school are under challenged academically but that middle school is such a crazy time for children that their role is to really just get them through it. We wanted more for our daughter than boredom and a lack of social structure that caused anxiety. HH accomplished that in spades. My daughter immediately noticed how nice an all-girl environment was for learning. She benefited from the social structure in place (all school meetings, mentor relationship with a teacher, sister groups, and access to the Head of School when needed). She took risks and blossomed; and for the first time in years, she was challenged academically. This is a great place for girls to stretch and grow while becoming young women.

— Anne Oxenreider, parent

Once a Hanger Hall family, always a Hanger Hall family. As a mother of two teenage girls who have now both graduated from this exceptional school, I can attest to the high level of academics and overall commitment to the emerging woman’s emotional maturity that Hanger Hall embodies. We enrolled our oldest daughter in the school when it was a very small, new, growing institution, still finding its stride. In the six years we’ve been involved with Hanger Hall, we’ve seen enormous, positive changes taking place. As the school has grown, so has its reputation as the best middle school environment for girls in Western North Carolina. There are some of the most dedicated, hard working instructors here, who are truly able to teach in an engaging, innovative manner to students who are not distracted by typical middle school complications. I have always felt that my daughters were more challenged, had more fun and were simply safer at Hanger Hall than they would have been in public school. I have seen that my daughters and other Hanger Hall alumni are extremely well prepared for high school and college. I will always be grateful to Hanger Hall for making the middle school years less of a drama, more of an educational adventure, one filled with support from other girls and talented women role models. This is what middle school should be!

— Ilene Procida, past parent

I started at HH when it was still split between Hanger Hall (the house) and the YWCA and there were three girls in my sixth grade class (me, Emily Samsel and Liz Elmore), eight years later, the three of us are still friends. It didn’t take Jamie very long to cure me of my longtime habit of reading outside books during class… maybe once. I think the most important thing I learned at HH was to take responsibility for my education, that class could be easy or challenging, boring or interesting, depending on what YOU chose to make of it, and that you can get out of any class as much as you put in.

— Eva Louise Humphrey, alumna

Hanger Hall COVID-19 Updates

Hanger Hall Health & Safety 

As a small school with small class sizes , we are confident in our capability to implement all health and safety recommendations to ensure a safe reopening, given the current guidance received from federal, state, and local levels of government.  Hanger Hall’s highest priority is the health and safety of our students, families, faculty and staff.

Our efforts to prepare for the upcoming school year is led by Hanger Hall’s leadership team under the guidance of a COVID-19 task force, comprised of Hanger Hall Staff, Board Members and Parent Volunteers who are in the Healthcare Field.  To support this priority, safety protocols will be in place for the 2020-21 school year.

This team is working over the summer to develop a variety of mitigation measures that will be implemented in classrooms, along with various contingency models so that Hanger Hall is prepared to support any COVID-!( related scenario within our school community.

Please visit this page regularly to receive additional communication related to school reopening that will be shared over the coming weeks.

One of the guiding principles in the development of Hanger Hall’s plan has always been to closely adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines for the reopening of schools as well as public health guidance issued by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. You can find these health and safety protocols in our handbook and updates will be made here.
