From Hawthorn Graduate to World Changer

Understanding the value of human dignity, developing personal integrity, a strong sense of responsibility – these are just a few of the character traits we foster at Hawthorn. And graduates like Patricia are testament to the positive impact our young women can have on the world. We encourage our students to reach their potential by challenging them academically and enabling them to develop a powerful sense of character.

Hawthorn has in fact led the way in character education since 1989. Character that allows our graduates to face the world with creative tenacity, intellectual courage and an uncommon spirit of service. Seeing what our graduates do after they graduate demonstrates the true value of a Hawthorn education.

Hawthorn’s mission statement is a lived reality—not just a plaque on the wall. Joy and industriousness, growth in virtue and scholarly achievement, freedom and responsibility all co-exist within our walls. Hawthorn girls, past and present, along with their parents and teachers, truly take the school’s mission to heart. Thanks to an education that promotes both academic excellence and character formation, Hawthorn girls face the world with creative tenacity, intellectual brilliance, and an uncommon spirit of service to others. A Hawthorn graduate is a confident, compassionate woman whose integrity and wisdom have a positive impact on the world around her.

Not only do Hawthorn grads have choice—of scholarships, universities, and volunteer, travel and career opportunities—they have an education of the mind and heart that guides them to choose wisely.
