Mission
Hilton Head Preparatory School seeks to
educate college-bound students in a safe
environment. Instilling personal integrity
is central to our educational purpose.
We strive to prepare a diverse population
of qualified students for academic
challenges, for a successful college
experience, and for rewarding lives.
Over the past six months my family and I have been warmly welcomed into the community. I would like
to express my sincere gratitude to those of you who have helped us transition to the beautiful location of
Hilton Head Island and into Hilton Head Preparatory School.
Hilton Head Prep has proven to be everything described to me roughly a year ago. Prep is blessed
to have a dedicated Board of Trustees, tireless educators, and a student body that strives to excel in the
classroom, on stage, and in competition. I am continuing to make every effort to learn all there is
to know about Prep. Fortunately a number of parents have accepted the invitation to meet with
me and share opinions, concerns, and praises. Each of these meetings has given me the
perspective needed to move forward. On multiple fronts, I already have exciting news to share.
Enrollment for the 2014-2015 school year has exceeded our expectations, which gives our
school a solid financial footing. For the first time in recent history our upper school is nearly at
capacity and we now have a need for more classroom space. Our admissions office has done a
superb job and will continue to strengthen our student body in each of our divisions as we enter
into the re-enrollment and recruitment season.
Prep received the single largest gift in its history with the donation of the Main Street
Theater from Mr. Jim Bradshaw and Mr. Carlos Evans. We look forward to using this new space
as our home location to spotlight our students in every aspect of the fine arts. The flexibility and
freedom gained from having our own theatre will be greatly appreciated.
Our annual Jubilee event raised funds specifically for updating the KNS Library into a more
modern learning commons. I am happy to announce that phase one was completed during the
Christmas holiday. This phase consists of a large multipurpose room which will mainly be used
as a study hall during the academic day. With this added room, two existing classrooms are
now available for instructional purposes. We have also built two small rooms to facilitate a quiet
space for tutoring and/or small group projects. Our intention is to provide a better space for our
students to comfortably study or meet and have all the necessary resources at their fingertips to
Mindy and Jon Hopman at the
meet our academic expectations.
Cowboy Cotillion Jubilee Fundraiser
We are excited to announce a new team member in our college counseling office. Mrs. Deena Paradiso
will be joining Mrs. Peg Hamilton on a part time basis to help facilitate new initiatives. Over the coming
months we will continue to educate parents and students in the upper school on the use and benefits of
Naviance, an web-based college planning/application program. The college counseling office will also be
tasked with expanding our support to future graduates through SAT prep classes, writing classes for college
essays, and college fairs. With the growth of our graduating classes we hope this addition to the college
counseling office will prove beneficial to everyone.
Although we have just hit the mid-year mark, we are already planning for the 2015-2016 school year.
Budgets are established, curriculum mapping is in progress, course offerings are being updated, and staff
needs are being determined. We can never sit idle in contentment of what has been accomplished. We must
always strive to better serve our students in all aspects of student life by maintaining our high expectations
with regard to academics and citizenship.
I am proud to be a part of the Prep community during this very exciting time. Prep is thriving and we
have a great deal to celebrate and appreciate as we continue to look forward.
Yours in education,
Hilton Head Preparatory School admits students of any
race, color, national, ethnic, or religious affiliation to all
the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally
accorded or made available to students at the school.
It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national and ethnic origin in administration of its
educational policies, financial aid, and athletic or
other school-administered programs.

A long-standing tradition at Prep, the
Halloween celebration and Pooh Pal parade
is one of the most exciting days of the year for
the lower school. The Pool Pal program pairs a
member of the senior class with a kindergarten
or first grade student. The children dress up
in costumes similar to their senior Pooh Pals
and parade throughout the campus. After the
parade, the children enjoy a fun-filled day of
activities and games in the lower school gym,
which is completely transformed with spooky
and fun decorations.
Congratulations to Lower School’s 23

Under the Stars
On November 6 Hilton Head
Prep’s second grade traveled to the
Coastal Discovery Museum as part
of the Nancy Bunting Enrichment
Experience. The students had a
fantastic experience learning about
reptiles and amphibians. Their favorite
part was holding the alligators and
touching their soft, bumpy skin.
At Prep, the arrival of cooler weather and changing leaves means fall football, Spirit Week
and Homecoming. An exciting annual fall tradition, Spirit Week activities included dress-up
days, contests, powder puff football and the exciting announcement of the homecoming
court. Students showed their school spirit by dressing up on theme days, including Pajama
Day, Hunger Games Day, Career Day, Grade Theme Day and the ever popular All-Out Prep
Spirit Day.
The excitement of Spirit Week concluded with the crowning ceremony, during which time
senior Ellie Zimmerman was crowned Homecoming Queen. The 2014 Homecoming Court
also included: freshman, Shalina Parker; sophomores, Sarah DeLoach and Serina Xiong;
juniors, Bailey Kaiser, Kate Herman and Madeleine McDonald and seniors Taylor Kent, Ellie
Zimmerman, Vanessa Orrell and Grace Orie.
This year’s Jubilee, dubbed the
Cowboy Cotillion, was held at Lawton
Stables on Saturday, October 25. The committee, led by Dennis Puckey and Suzanne Milbourn, along
with many dedicated parents, faculty and staff members, worked tirelessly transforming a giant tent in the
middle of the horse pasture into a fun-filled atmosphere! The event brought in over $60,000 to go towards
enhancing the educational experience at Prep.
The next day, the community was invited to join the Prep family at the Family Fun Day. Children
enjoyed a day at the stables, from pony rides to petting the farm animals to lots of fun games. We also had a
visit from Lowcountry Raptors who provided live and rescued hawks and owls on display and discussed the
conservation and habitat loss of these majestic creatures. It was a pleasant day of community-building fun.

Cast and crew of over 40 Hilton Head Prep middle and upper
school students brought to life the story of Millie’s adventures
in the play “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” which tells the story of
a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City
to marry for money instead of love – a thoroughly modern aim
in 1922, when women were just entering the workforce. Millie
soon begins to take delight in the flapper lifestyle, but problems
arise when she checks into a hotel owned by the leader of a white
slavery ring in China. The style of the musical is comic pastiche.
Like the film on which it is based, it interpolates new tunes with
some previously written songs.

on the island in the early 80’s and while he currently lives
in Charlotte, he has continued business and personal
involvement on Hilton Head Island.
“We are extremely thankful to Mr. Bradshaw and Mr.
Evans for this very generous gift to our school”, says Mr.
Hopman, “and we will be forever grateful.”
Hilton Head Preparatory School presented the Middle
School production of “Mulan” in the Main Street Theater
building in 2007 with resounding success and looks forward
to the excitement of hosting its own shows in the building
going forward.
“Having a presence on the north end of the island will
be beneficial for our school and the admissions process,”
says Bobbie Somerville, director of admissions at Prep, “we
are excited to add Prep branded signage at the Main Street
location and have the opportunity to hold admissions events
there as well.”
The Main Street Youth Theater currently leases the space
for their productions and the school is committed to working
with them going forward. The school is also open to other
community usage as the calendar will allow.

n December 30, 2014, Hilton Head Preparatory
School closed on the largest single donation in the
school’s history. Thanks to the generosity of two philanthropic
businessmen, James W. Bradshaw of Hilton Head Island and
Carlos E. Evans of Charlotte, NC, the school is now the proud
owner of the Main Street Theatre, a gift worth $1,950,000. “A
donation of this magnitude will make a huge impact on our
small private school by boosting our arts programming and
developing more opportunities for the creative process”, says
JR Richardson, Trustee Emeritus of Hilton Head Preparatory
School and a longtime friend of Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Evans.
“I am thrilled that Prep now has its own arts theatre in
which we can showcase all of our performing arts in each division”, says Hilton Head Prep Headmaster, Jon Hopman, “and
we are committed to promoting arts in the community with
the use of this building”. Hilton Head Prep expects to use the
venue for its Upper, Middle and Lower School productions
as well as several music concerts and events throughout the
year. Hilton Head Prep’s director of performing arts, Peggy
Trecker White, is excited by the gift as well. “It is fantastic for
Prep arts to have a home base and I look forward to finding
creative ways to tell new stories.”
“Both donors are longtime friends and supporters of the
Hilton Head Island community”, says JR Richardson, “and
Hilton Head Prep is deeply appreciative of their large unselfish donation”. Jim Bradshaw, successful Island entrepreneur,

Girls
Tennis – Coach Brian Parkkonen
Once again, we had a state-championship winning team this
season consisting of 14 girls, ranging in level of play from highly
ranked nationally to beginner level. The season team record was
12-1 with the only loss coming from Hilton Head High School when
we lost in the doubles tie break. The season match record was 82-16.
Team captains Katie Rankin and Sam Kriney had two huge
victories in our regular season final vs. Hilton Head Christian
Academy. Lindsay Zimmerman had an undefeated season and took
home Player of the Year honors at #1. Our top seven players had
a very consistent pattern of winning this year dropping only three
matches all year: Lindsay Zimmerman, Natalie Kitchen, Sydnee
Wheeler, Ellie Czura, Catie Meighan, Katie Rankin and Sam Kriney.
Despite the loss of two key senior players, Sydnee Wheeler and
Natalie Kitchen, we have plenty of talent returning next year, where
there is a bright future to be had with this group of talented, young
ladies moving up through the ranks – Alyssa Marotta, Michaela
Hegarty, Shannon Hegarty, Charlotte Ruhlin, Cori Leonard, Riley
Kuhler, Catherine Sheehan and Lauren Harvey. Hilton Head Prep’s
tennis future will likely be more of the same – total domination.
Cross
Country – Coach Liz Nash
There are many reasons to celebrate the successes and
accomplishments of this year’s cross country program. The season
began with over 400 runners participating in our annual Run for
RET race. Senior, Jackson Henz, finished second overall. The
season concluded with our State Meet where Jackson Henz was
crowned the State Champion by finishing first overall. Seventh
grader, Tori Herman, finished third overall. Jackson and Tori both
set personal records and were named to the All-State Team. The
boys and girls teams took third place honors as well. In between
the RET race and the State Meet, there were 23 runners working
extremely hard every day to improve their individual times.
Our region meet was another superb showing by our runners.
Once again, Jackson Henz and Tori Herman led the way. They
both finished first in their respective races. In the girl’s race, Foster
Willey finished fourth and Olivia Light finished fifth, earning All
Region honors. In the boy’s race, Joshua Williams finished third
and Ryan Nimmer finished fifth, earning All Region honors as well.
Both teams had first place finishes.
This year’s success was largely due to the fabulous leadership
provided by our seniors. Seniors were Jackson Henz, Ryan Henderson,
Ellery Newcomer, Grace Orie and Laurel Woerheide. Upperclassmen
Jack Dextraze, Sarah DeLoach, Eve Farah, Julia Gigante, Ryan
Nimmer, Jackson Richard, Aidan Sanz and Joshua Williams were also
positive role models for the younger team members.
The future of the cross country program looks very promising.
We have a healthy number of talented middle school runners.
These runners include Rex Blahut, Mia Calamari, Avery Campbell,
Courtney Doyle, Tori Herman, Olivia Light, Healey Lucier, Justin
Stone and Cameron Wynne.
Football
– Coach Kevin Wald
The 2014 varsity football season started out with a thrilling
28-16, come from behind win, against Bethesda Academy. The
Dolphins won two bowl games this season, the first being a 27-6
win over rival Thomas Heyward in the Independence Bowl and the
second bowl win put the exclamation mark as prep defeated arch
rival Hilton Head Christian Academy 32-10 to win the Cross Island
Bowl. It was the first time Prep had defeated the Eagles in seven
years. The Dolphins finished the season with an overall record of 8
wins and 3 losses. The region record was 4-1 which was good for
second place. The season concluded with a loss to Holly Hill in the
first round of the playoffs. We will definitely miss the 11 graduating
seniors but welcome back 19 returning players off of this year’s
roster. Go Dolphins!
MSWithFootball
– Coach Mark McDonald
a 1-7 overall record, the scoreboard certainly didn’t
indicate the many successes Hilton Head Preparatory Middle
School Football experienced this year. Despite playing a very
competitive schedule, and often mismatched in size and numbers,
the players were always willing to give it their all. Coach McDonald
and Coach Nitke were thrilled with the efforts of this incredibly
resilient group.
Sixth graders Nick Calamari and Spencer Hall made impressive
entrances into the middle school athletic program and proved to
be excellent teammates. A talented group of seventh graders,
which included Conrad Alford, Luke Bennett, JT Herman, Stone
McDonald, Gaston Moore, and Jorge Resto, will bring back a
strong skill set to compete next year.
This year’s team was led by a strong, close-knit group of eighth
graders: Logan Blair, Jack Braun, Albert Grandy, Hunter Hopman,
Frank Milbourn, Ben Pellicci, Michael Santorum and Mathew
Sullivan. By seasons end, all of the eighth grade players were
prepared to move on to the next level of competition.
The coaches, the tremendously supportive parents, friends
and family thoroughly enjoyed watching this team compete
throughout the year, watching their skills improving and their
resiliency strengthened. Hilton Head Prep has a great group of
players coming back next season and we are looking forward to
seeing some new faces on the field next year.
Volleyball
– Coach Laura Sirbaugh
The 2014 volleyball season may have been short on victories,
but it was loaded with heart. From an amazing win in the first set
of the season against powerhouse Pinewood Prep to tight fought
sets against cross-island rival and conference champ Hilton Head
Christian Academy, the young Lady Dolphins never gave up; they
battled hard and competed proudly in every match. Though the
team didn’t win a match, they did take seven sets from tough
opponents, including three sets in the Colleton Tournament,
placing them 15th out of 25 teams and one set from Beaufort
High School. Senior captains Rowan Baltzley and Riley Brown
provided leadership both on and off the court to the one junior,
one sophomore, and seven freshmen who rounded out the team.
Rowan led the team in serving percentage (92%) and digs (121)
and earned All Region IV Honorable Mention honors while Riley
recorded the most kills (29). Other category leaders were Keira
Wojcikiewicz with 35 aces and Charlotte Covington with nine solo
blocks and two block assists. With nine returning players, the future
of Prep volleyball is bright.
MSWeVolleyball
– Coaches Sarah Benedik & Kate Clark
had an amazing turn out for our volleyball season with 24
middle school girls participating. This allowed us to divide into A
and B teams. Both teams made tremendous amounts of growth as
the season progressed and each player had personal triumphs.
Our A team took on many JV level teams at other schools.
They were tenacious with the effort and hard work they put forth
to take on these older teams. We were very proud of them in their
final match against Beaufort Academy where they played all three
games and lost the last by just 2 points! There were many firsts
on our B team as many girls were trying out the sport for the first
time. All of the players improved their skills of serving, passing and
setting as the season progressed. They played well together on
the court and showed tremendous support for each other off the
court. A highlight of the season was winning third place in the St.
Francis Tip-Off tournament! Overall, it was a successful season and
we look forward to the future successes of these girls in volleyball
at Hilton Head Prep!
Cheerleading
– Coaches Missy Santorum & Tami Speer
The Hilton Head Prep Varsity Cheerleaders began our season
with 14 enthusiastic girls. Cheerleading started in June with a
weeklong camp to prepare for the fall football season. Sewanee
Cheerleading Captain, Betsy Houston, led the camp and taught the
girls wonderful new cheers that got them prepared for their opening
day routines. The girls learned over 70 cheers, new dance routines
and creative new stunting this season. They also worked with the
Lower School Mini Phin cheerleaders and had the young girls join
them for several home football games and a pep rally.
The squad cheered at all home and away varsity football
games, as well as organized four pep rallies to help bring school
spirit to new heights! The cheer team members included: Blair
Bennett, Katie Cadden, Alyssa Calamari, Whitaker Gannon, Kate
Herman, Bailey Kaiser, Alyssa Marotta, Maddie McDonald, Lily
Neary, Ava Nixon, Vanessa Orrell, Jessica Post, Allie Santorum and
Sabina Vaughan.
MSTheCheerleading
– Coach Jennifer Tucker
middle school cheer squad had a busy fall season. They
started out with their first cheer camp in July where they worked
on proper stunting, jumps, and dances. Once school began,
the cheerleaders spent their time cheering on Cross Country,
Volleyball, and Football.
The middle school cheerleaders are currently working hard to
get ready for the winter season. You will see them soon as they
cheer on middle school basketball.
Members of the squad include Ella Alsko, Mia Calamari, Rachel
Stratton, Kailey Tucker, Halsey Williamson, and Lauren Wingate.
Sailing
– Coach Michelle Pennell & Gilbert Ramseur
The sailing team had a fantastic start. Caitlyn Campbell,
Emmett Askeland, Allessandra Rueben, Madison Hart and
returning sailors, Will Monts, Jessica Post, and Jackson Puckey
practiced at the South Carolina Yacht Club. In the Beaufort Open
Regatta, Hilton Head Prep placed 7th overall out of 11 schools.
The A division finished in 3rd place and the B division finished in
9th place.
In September, Will Monts sailed his laser radial in a fleet
of 36 boats in the SAISA (South Atlantic Interscholastic Sailing
Association) Cressy Qualifier Regatta. Eighteen races were
completed over two days. Will achieved his goal of a top ten finish
earning a 4th place finish. The team earned the SCISA runner-up
trophy in the SAISA Charleston Intersectional
In the SAISA North Points #1 Regatta, the team placed 3rd
overall out of 17 schools. This finish earned 15 points for Hilton
Head Prep towards qualifying for the SAISA District Championship
Regatta which will be held in the spring. In the A division, Will
Monts, Allessandra Rueben and Jessica Post won 1st place. The
B division came in 8th place with Emmett Askeland, Madison Hart
and Caitlyn Campbell.
The Sailing team is looking forward to competing in the
upcoming SAISA Points and Open Regattas as the series
continues through the winter and spring seasons.

uring school hours, be it break, lunch, or
academic support, not a second goes by
without at least one of Dr. Sulek’s chess boards
being used. You can walk into room 401 and see up to
double digit games on the chess boards that are
unfinished because of a lack of time. It is unheard of to
walk in and not see either an unfinished game or a match
being played. Every so often you can find a “do not touch” sign taped to one of the nearly ended matches. Hilton Head Prep has a
passion and a culture for chess that is often unrecognized for its quality and rarity in South Carolina high schools.
No matter what skill level or grade, everyone is welcome to come and play. This chess culture that has flourished at our great school
can be accredited chiefly to the efforts and enthusiasm of Dr. Sulek. All of Hilton Head Prep contributes to the constant chess culture
that is created, however. Over the past 10 years in the SCISA state competitions, our high school chess team has placed 1st in nine of
them. Along with that, for many of the past few years Prep has fielded a middle school team to compete (in the middle school tournament) as well. Even more astonishingly, there are lower-schoolers who meet with and are taught lessons by Dr. Sulek once a week.
Every Monday night at Barnes and Noble, Dr. Sulek and many students (and even some teachers) gather and play for a few hours
for the simple love of the game. Anyone and everyone who may want to join, no matter what level of skill or background in the game,
may do so. I attend as many of these sessions as possible and have one memory that, to me, shows the true difference of chess at our
school compared to others.
On this particular night, I was playing a match facing towards the common area of the Starbucks inside of Barnes and Noble. As per
usual, some people decided to stop and view the position of the match at hand. A woman who looked ecstatic to see me suddenly
rushed over to my board. At the time, I was more than sure that it was a family friend who I had completely forgotten and that I would
have to make conversation with this person who knew me, even though I did not know her. I could not have been more incorrect. This
lady started by saying, “I could not be happier to see you guys here”. What came next was unexpected. “How often do you play at
Barnes and Noble?” I fumbled around to tell her every Monday night at 7:00, and she was so happy because her son who went to
a different high school on the island could not find a chess club or even in-use chess boards on campus, but loved the game. This
encounter showed me how truly special our school is, all-around and certainly for chess.
Personally I started playing when I was about five years old. My mom taught me, and at that point in my life, anything that I did not,
or could not grasp quickly, I would push aside. Thus the early days of
chess in my life were short and not so sweet. I picked up the game

The Bell is Back … 2014
Again
By Margot Brown, Director of Finance and Institutional Advancement
S
itting down to write this article on the bell was not an easy task.
I originally thought the tradition for the bell was to steal it and
return it at graduation. Or is the tradition to steal it and NOT return it
for long stretches of time? Both traditions have been upheld since the
bell was first given to the school by the family of Clay Johnson ’77.
The bell first arrived on the Sea Pines Academy campus around
1974. It was originally set on a post on Montessori side of campus
and then erected atop of the old gym roof in a bell tower in 1976. It
was then that the bell was stolen by the Seniors as a prank. Hidden
for the rest of the school year, Ricky Marscher ’76, returned it at
graduation. The following year, it was stolen again and returned
at graduation by Charlie Fraser ’77. And thus a “tradition” was
born. For the next 6 years, the bell was stolen and ceremoniously
returned at graduation.
As the story is told, the Class of 1984 stole the bell and DID NOT
return it at graduation in protest over the upcoming merger of Sea
Pines Academy and their rival May River Academy. Where the bell
was for over 25 years, no one but the Class of 1984 really knows,
but somehow it ended up at the law office of Sam Bauer ’84. Sam,
learning that Charlie Fraser ’77 and his wife Linda ’77 were searching
for the bell in celebration of Hilton Head Preparatory School’s 40th
Anniversary and their son Elliott’s graduation in 2005, agreed to
return the bell. It seemed appropriate that Elliott – Prep’s first legacy
graduate – would return the bell at his graduation. And the tradition
was reborn – or so all thought.
The Class of 2006 stole the bell that summer but did not return
it at their graduation the following spring. Somehow the bell ended
up in the possession of the Class of 2008. Rumor has it the bell was
submerged underwater for 2 years until it was returned again to the
Fraser family. Carson Fraser ’08 and Sloan Bragg ’08 ceremoniously
returned the bell at the graduation in 2010 and handed it over to
James Richardson ’10 and Sloan’s sister, Janie Bragg ’10.
Since the bell tower was demolished for safety reasons around
2010 leaving the bell with no rightful place of honor, no one knows
exactly how it was stolen again. The rumor was the class of 2012
got a hold of it and threatened not to return it until there was an
appropriate place for it to be displayed.
Fast forward to graduation of 2014. With a promise by the
school to hang the bell in the center of the new breezeway erected
between the Upper and Lower Schools, the bell was marched into
the graduation ceremony by James Richardson ’10 and Collins
Richardson ’12 and presented to headmaster, Peter Cooper, and
their younger sister Forest Richardson ’14 shortly after she received
her diploma.
The bell is now proudly displayed in the center of a newly
refurbished and spruced up courtyard in the center of campus. The
2015-2016 school year will mark the 50th Anniversary of the school
and it seems the most fitting time to settle the tradition once and
for all. Will the bell be stolen by the class of 2016 and returned at
graduation? Will it be stolen and not returned for years? Or will it
remain where it hangs with the secrets of its past known only by the
bell itself.

2014 - 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
Leadership Circle
Dear Prep Community:
I am both pleased and excited about Hilton Head Prep now and looking toward
the future. Our enrollment is over 400 students for the first time in several years.
We have great leadership with a vision for the future from our new headmaster,
Jon Hopman. Our participation in the Inspire a Mind Fund increased
dramatically this year and starts anew this year with lots of positive energy.
Last year’s graduating class received the most diverse and broadest list of
college acceptances in the area.
Work has begun, in coordination with Sea Pines Security and the Beaufort
County Sherriff’s office, to evaluate and improve campus security. Over the
summer both the lower and upper school building entrances were changed so
that visitors are first greeted by a receptionist. Mapping of all the school facilities
entrances, exits, alarms, etc has been completed and loaded into a software
system that is accessible by the Fire Department and Sheriff’s Department in
the event of an emergency.
Our core values continue to be academics, school family, the individual and
service. Academics is the first of our core values and while we take much
satisfaction in our results, we are focused on constant improvement. Grades and
understanding of subject matter are highly important. While some might debate
the merit of SAT, ACT and AP scores, the fact is these are very important to
most colleges. We are a college preparatory school and our faculty, administration
and Board of Trustees are all committed to continuing to be a leader in the
Lowcountry and achieving excellence in all these important areas.
I extend my thanks on behalf of everyone at the school for those who supported
the Inspire a Mind Fund, the Booster Club, the Arts Guild, Jubilee and
other giving opportunities. In particular, I want to thank all those that gave
so generously of their time for the good of the school community. On the
following pages donors to the 2013-2014 Inspire a Mind Fund, endowment and
technology upgrades are noted. We are tremendously grateful for your support.

IXL
is a comprehensive, standards-aligned math
and language arts practice program offering
unlimited problems in thousands of skills.
Paul Mishkin, who started out as a software engineer at Oracle,
founded IXL Learning in 1998. One of the best things about IXL
is that students can access it from school and from home. IXL has
skills from Pre-Kindergarten to Pre-Calculus. The program has a
wealth of information: it shows
the student how many skills they

Hilton Head Prep started using the web-based program during

IXL is a solid program that supports the in-class instruction and

as well as their

ducation at Prep has always been
about helping the whole child, and
one of the important ways we do that in
the Middle School is through our Advisory
Program. Small groups of same-grade-level
students meet two or three times a week
with one of their teachers to talk and share
activities – all with the goal of helping
students make good choices, give back to
their community, and become responsible
global citizens.
Within the Advisory Program, through
guided activities and discussion, students
get to know and trust one another. This
helps them feel safe in asking questions and
comfortable sharing ideas and experiences.
Advisors take on the role of facilitator, asking
questions and making sure students maintain
respect and empathy with one another.
At other times advisors lead activities
which offer competitive experiences with
other advisories. Playing games all together
in the gym or on the field gives students
an opportunity to interact – and have fun
– with all of their classmates, not just the
ones in their class group. Often these games
require problem solving and teamwork and
our students always rise to the challenge.
Prep’s Middle School Advisory Program
also includes discussions centered around
the successful learning attributes of
perseverance, organization, and responsibility.
Students complete surveys that give them
insight into their learning styles and
challenges, and through advisory discussions,
share strategies that many find helpful.
In addition, advisors help them understand
their learning as their own work in an effort
to expand the intrinsic motivation that
comes with successful academic endeavors.
To ensure that advisory time is well
spent, teachers work with Marilyn Calore,
Prep’s Director of Counseling, to devise
games as well as make sure there is time to
talk about any issues that come up within
the school. In addition, they make sure to
bring up the issue of bullying periodically
so that students realize the importance
of standing up for one another as well as
keeping their teachers informed of any
problems they might be having with others.
Another main goal of the Advisory
Program is to help students reach outside
themselves and their world at Prep by
exploring global issues like homelessness,
local and global poverty, and local and global
environmental concerns. All of our students
take part in community service programs,
and by the eighth grade, these individual
projects become a year-long effort designed
to make a difference in the students as well
as their community.
The Prep community takes pride in
its academics, sports, and the individual
success of each of our students and a
big part of that success comes from the
relationships built through the Advisory
Program.

COLLEGE COUNSELING
By Peg Hamilton, College Counselor

International students Alfred Yang and Kevin Wang use Naviance as a research tool to find out more information
about colleges and universities that they have applied to.
W
ith so many members of the
class of 2015 busy pondering
their destination beyond high
school, it seems that the future is uppermost in everyone’s mind. So it is indeed
with great pleasure that Prep announces
the acquisition of a significant tool which
truly makes the journey into the future
accessible to the students, to their families,
to their teachers, and to the college
counseling staff and Prep administration.
Naviance is an online, web-based
program which allows students and their
families to research colleges and universities
and then follow applications as each
one moves through the process. I call
Naviance an “internal and external
tracking system” because it engages
students in the process literally from
their first thoughts of college to that final
moment when we change their account
record to “accepted.”
Late this past summer, Prep committed
to Naviance for a multi-year contract.
Naviance, used by over 8,000 high
schools around the country, provides
each student with a variety of tasks to
be completed, each one essential to the
college application process. In addition to
the student access, parents can then be
privy to their child’s application progress
through “Family Connection.”
Lori Parker (our Naviance technical advisor) and I began installing the
Naviance software, the entire upper
school student body (grades 9-12) was
loaded into the system. Once everyone

was “in,” we began finding out just what
this powerful program could do.
{
Isaac McQueen
commented that Naviance
helped with resume
building and keeping up
with due dates.
On Wednesday, October 15, while the
underclassmen were sitting for the PSAT,
the seniors were introduced to Naviance.
By splitting up the class that morning, and
holding two introductory sessions in Prep’s
DLA lab, each senior got to begin his or
her individual online exploration. Each
senior received his or her personalized login
information, and pretty soon we could
hear excited comments as many of them
discovered exactly what they could do with
Naviance.
Since then, the Class of 2015 has
completed applications to a wide range
of colleges and universities across the
country. While many applications are
directed to institutions in the south
Clemson, University of South Carolina,
and College of Charleston, we have
also logged in applications to colleges
in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Florida,
Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts,
Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Ohio,
California, Mississippi, Alabama, New
Jersey, New York, and Indiana.
But Naviance is more than “just”
college applications. As our seniors
are discovering, they can match their
academic information (grade point
average and SAT and/or ACT scores)
and their personal interests (how about
a major in forestry? Or sports management? Or Pre-law?) to potential colleges.
Naviance also includes a resume-building
function; as we continue to find from
college admissions personnel, the record
of achievements and activities give them
another means of assessing each applicant
in a holistic manner. After all, colleges
want to know what sort of person they are
able to welcome into their campus family.
And that person is more than grades and
test scores.
Then there are scholarships. Our
Naviance program will link students
to, for instance, the Heritage Classic
Foundation Scholarship and the
Lowcountry Scholarship Foundation,
to name just two. In addition, Naviance
contains a link to the Selective Service
(for the gentlemen) and to the NCAA
(for our prospective college athletes).
And with so many students using The
Common Application to apply, Naviance
is also linked to that feature as well. In
short, Naviance is like a giant buffet with
options for virtually any student.
and is finding “the organization that it
provides regarding schools I am interested in, schools I am applying to helps
greatly.” Others, like Derek Johnson,
Ellie Zimmerman, Blair Bennett, and
Stephen Gavin, agreed that the resumebuilding function was useful and that
the entire Naviance site helped keep
them organized and on track. Archer
Brooks commented that he has “found it
[Naviance] creates a better connection
with my college counselor because it gets
us on the same page.” And perhaps Trevor
Marbut summed it up best when he said,
“The most helpful feature is that it helps
me stay organized.”
There you have it. Naviance propels
Prep into the future offering our
students a myriad of features and
functions to assist with all the elements
of the college application process.
In the coming months and years, we
anticipate being able to introduce the
many features of Naviance to all our
students in grade eight and above. The
tools offered by Naviance go far beyond
the college application process and can
be utilized by students long before that
first application goes in the mail or is
completed online. Because Prep is a
college preparatory school, the earlier
{

Marbut summed it up best

the process of preparation for college
begins the more successful the outcome
will be. And Naviance is the perfect tool
to help all of us continue to focus on the
future!
}
Archer Brooks commented
that he has “found it
[Naviance] creates a better
connection with my college
counselor because it gets
us on the same page.”
We asked several of our seniors how
they found using Naviance to be. Isaac
McQueen commented that Naviance
helped with resume building and keeping
up with due dates. Stephen Frederico
logs into Naviance at least twice a week
Archer Brooks uses his laptop in the Senior Hallway to access Naviance. Naviance is a web-based application,
making it available anywhere the internet is available. A Naviance app for smart phones is available free of charge.

High Hopes for
aving been a Prep student
(’91-’97), a Prep teacher (’10),
and now a Prep parent of three girls
– Ransom (2nd grade), Ruth Love (K)
and Camellia (JK), I could not be more
excited to cheer on Prep’s new health
initiative, HI-5.
HI-5 addresses five important
areas of wellbeing: 1. Joy and
Spiritual Wellbeing, 2. Relationships
(personal, peer and parental), 3. Food
and Nutrition, 4. Personal and Physical
Development, and 5. Community
Outreach. We have high hopes for HI-5
and intend to make a positive impact on
the overall wellness of our students, faculty,
parents and the community with regularly
planned and special events, educational
opportunities and fun, health-conscious
programs.
Each week in Community Connections,
you will find a calendar of events hosted
by HI-5 and a recipe and wellness tip of
the week written by Jennifer Winzeler, a
certified health and parenting coach and
parent to Owen (8th grade), Jules (6th
grade) and Ruby (2nd grade). Each week
you are also invited to a community walk-run
on Wednesdays at 8:30 leaving from the
courtyard outside the KNS building. The
group averages 5 miles (walking) and
endless amounts of good conversation.
And there’s more good health news –
October 30 HI-5 applied for the Whole
Kids Foundation’s 2015 Garden Grant.
The application process in itself enlivened
faculty, parents and students about the
addition of an organic garden and, if
awarded the grant, the garden will help
Prep flourish in so many ways beginning
this spring. According to the Whole Kids
Foundation, “School garden programs not
only promote healthy lifestyles in children,
but have also been shown to improve
children’s behavior and performance at

school and improve their attitudes about
and appreciation for the environment.
Gardens serve as great outdoor classrooms
for any number of subjects, including
science and ecology, math, creative writing
and art. School gardens are wonderful
spaces for kids with different learning styles
and abilities to work in groups and engage
in hands-on, cross-disciplinary education.”
Through HI-5, Prep is also looking at
adding other interactive, wellness-minded
programs into the school. Prep’s submission
to the Whole Kids Foundation’s 2015
Garden Grant made the school eligible
for the Honey Bee Grant. The Whole Kids
Foundation reports the learning opportunities
associated with a beehive are endless.
Students can discover new aspects of:
HI-5 Biology by learning more about plant
and insect biology.
HI-5 Agriculture by learning how honey
is created and how plant yields are
increased through pollination.
HI-5 Ecology by learning about the
relationships between living
organisms and the natural world.
HI-5 Environmental Studies by learning
how the environment is affected by
the positive and negative choices we
make.
HI-5 Culinary and Nutrition Studies by
studying the nutritional benefits of
naturally sourced honey and how to
incorporate it into cooking.
HI-5 Business through interactions with the
beekeeper and, by selling surplus items,
learning about the business aspects of a
product from start to finish.
HI-5’s mission is: to educate and
empower all sectors (Prep’s staff and faculty,
parents, students and community members)
about the five components of HI-5.
