Club Feature: Community Oven
The Wood-Fired Community Oven On Campus Club hosted its inaugural pizza cooking event at the end of January 2021. We're happy to say it will be the first of many (tasty) community events.
Traditions
Ring the Bell
What's that you hear? It's the bell of historic Bearce Hall - constructed in 1873 - ringing loud and clear across campus to celebrate team victories, graduation, the birth of a child, and more.
Class Connections
The first week of school is affectionately known as "Connections Week," where grade levels have the opportunity to bond and explore our beloved home, Maine.
Students in Grade 9 stay at Kents Hill to discover our rich traditions and rituals; Grade 10 visits Rangeley Lake State Park to hike, bike, and swim; Grade 11 visits at a lakeside summer camp; and Grades 12/PG head north for a guided whitewater rafting trip.
Names in the Bell Tower
Bearce Hall's iconic golden bell tower does more than house the bell. During Class Connections, every Grade 9 student has the opportunity sign their name and "officially" join the thousands of students and alumni before them as Kents Hill Huskies.
Letter to Your Future Self
What will you do over the next four years? Who will you become? Where will this journey take you? Grade 9 students contemplate these questions while writing letters to themselves during Class Connections. The letters are signed and sealed with a custom wax stamp to be delivered back to the student the day before graduation.
Set in Stone
When a student leaves Kents Hill for their next great adventure, a piece of them always remains here. Each student's name is engraved on a brick that runs along Alumni Walkway from central campus to the Bibby and Harold Alfond Dining Commons.
Winter Carnival
The best way to describe Winter Carnival is to see it. Six color teams battle it out during a week of zany competitions, tasks, and challenges. Past themes have included "Inner Child," "Twilight Zone," and "Endless Summer" and "Kents Hill Heroes." We are looking forward to seeing who will earn the top spot in 2024?
