The Hill School Writing Center
The Humphrey Family Writing Center is the home for The Hill School’s student writers. Located on the third floor of the John P. Ryan Library in a beautifully renovated room with an inspiring view of the campus, The Writing Center provides Hill’s student writers with a place of their own to develop their skills in the company of other writers.
To celebrate the work born in this space, this site brings together a curated showcase of award-winning student works. Featured here are the writers recognized by the Alex H. Revell, III ’43 Writing Contest and the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
