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.

We consider our arts program central to the growth and development of each student’s sense of self. Through a wide variety of mediums, visual arts students express who they are and how they relate to the world. But most importantly, they become artists and learn to value their own creative expression thus themselves. This year we are integrating social activism through public art through the study of art in downtown Asheville. The girls have been challenged to re-imagine public spaces and will present their visions to our state officials.
