Hammond School

The final week of Hawk Ridge Summer Camp is flying by, but we're making every moment count! ☀️💙 From exciting games to endless laughter and unforgettable adventures, our campers are making memories and friendships that will last long after summer ends. Here's to soaking up every last bit of camp fun together!

📣 Day 1 of **Skyhawk Cheer Camp** is in the books! 💙📣

Our campers kicked off the week by learning cheers, dances, and all about what it means to show Skyhawk spirit! Their energy, enthusiasm, and teamwork made for an amazing first day, and they're already counting down to their end-of-the-week showcase for their families.

We can't wait to see how much they grow this week.

Earlier this month, students in the Hammond Abroad summer programs embraced new cultures, explored historic landmarks, and created memories that will last a lifetime.

From walking the streets of France to discovering the rich history of England, every stop offered new opportunities to learn, grow, and experience the world beyond the classroom.

More stories and memories from these unforgettable journeys await. ❤️ 🌍✈️🇫🇷🇬🇧

Ellie B. Brantley Hart ’14 continues to make her mark through storytelling, exploration, and a passion for taking on new challenges.

Earlier this year, Ellie reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro alongside her uncle, Adam Brantley ’90, adding another remarkable achievement to a growing list of accomplishments that includes four published books, with a fifth set to be released this summer.

Congratulations to the Brantleys on their incredible accomplishments! From the pages of a book to the peak of a mountain, we look forward to seeing the heights they reach next.

Once a Skyhawk, always a Skyhawk! ❤️

Every corner of campus misses you, Skyhawks. ❤️
The countdown is on—see you soon!

🤖📦 Creativity was in full gear at Discovery Makers Camp with Dr. Lynch! Campers transformed simple cardboard rectangles and squares into one-of-a-kind robots, using colorful markers, paper, and their imaginations to bring each creation to life. From silly to futuristic designs, every robot was as unique as its maker! We love seeing innovation and creativity shine! ✨🎨

The Skyhawk Nation was built for the spotlight.

And we were lucky to have some of the nation's best sports photographers on campus to shine that light! Thank you Court King Photography for hitting us with your best shots, and to James Quantz Jr for bringing these renowned photographers to campus. You brought the talent and we brought the Skyhawk Pride!

Spent the weekend at @hammondschool sharpening our craft alongside some of the best in the business. Thanks so much to @quantzphoto, @braddeel_sports, and @danimackphotography for leading a first-class workshop — the bar you set is the standard we strive for. So much talent in one room, and we were honored to shoot alongside such a great group of photographers. If you’re looking to get sports portraits for yourself or your team, hit us up — we want to make sure every shot tells your story. Also have to give a shoutout to @cheetahstand and @westcottlighting for incredible equipment to make shots like this easier for us! Post 1 of many from the weekend.

Football Camp with Coach Wheeler and some of our Skyhawk football players, gave campers the chance to sharpen their skills and build confidence on and off the field!
