By: Alexa Neal I gathered a variety of Hillers, ranging from all grades, and compiled six fun questions to explore what our community's opinions on Valentine’s Day are. Their answers displayed how diverse we are, as none were unanimously agreed upon, and I invite you to answer these questions along with them as well! Before getting into the article, you can also check out our Valentine's Day reel where we interviewed others on these questions and more! First Question: Do you

By: Aarush Vakalapudi Time—it’s our most precious resource, and I'm confident that everyone, both students and faculty at Tower Hill, agrees. As Hillers, we’re experts at time management. Between juggling advanced classes, two-hour-long sports practices, extracurricular activities, and our own personal hobbies, we’ve simply been conditioned to make the best out of our time, because it’s rare that we have time to spare. While time management is a great skill to have, and is s

By: Alexa Neal Every year, right before winter break, Tower Hill presents its annual Tree Trim, a festive day to bring together the entire school and celebrate the winter break. Although the main event of Tree Trim is the magical lighting of the tree, it connects the Hiller community more than ever as we get excited for the holiday season. Tree Trim morning opened with the advisory bake-off. The faculty engaged in a similar baking competition, and Mrs. Koenig describes it as

By: Aarush Vakalapudi Each year, Tower Hill holds the annual Turkey Trot, an event where the Upper School gathers to walk around Rockford Park. It usually takes place the day before Thanksgiving Break begins, but excitement builds leading up to the event. The week of the trot, Ms. Wrambel brings turkey trivia with her to morning meeting. Although the questions aren’t something you prepare for, this year’s winners got the answers pretty quickly, whether it was due to sheer luc

By: Joie Quinlan Since we have entered the early weeks of November, that means it’s time for Hiller Harvest! Up until November 21st, every student, teacher, faculty, and staff member, or anyone in the Tower Hill community, is welcome to donate food items to the drive. All donations will then be forwarded to LCS (Lutheran Community Services), who will then distribute the items to families and individuals in need, especially during the holiday season. In almost every community,

By: Aarush Vakalapudi If you’ve been roaming the HUB recently, you’ve most definitely come across the polls that line the Upper School. From thought-provoking questions on philosophy, “Would you rather time travel to the past or future?”  to less serious questions, “Maple or Pumpkin Spice,”  the Tower Hill community has contributed to making the school day considerably more engaging. But why did the polls begin, are they going to last, and, more importantly, what do they say

By: Eva Cai From swinging tennis rackets to running for press secretary, he is not only an integral part of the boys’ tennis team but also a determined leader at Tower Hill. Although already a familiar face both on and off the courts, Rikky Sanjeev is now working toward making Tower Hill a more connected community through his leadership as press secretary. As a student, Rikky has constantly made an effort to connect our community through announcements. Even without his formal

by: Emaan Ehtasham As Tower Hill students walked into the theater Monday night for the first forum of the year, they were ready for an hour of productive conversation across political beliefs between two professionals brought in by our forum council. As we navigate this election season, the school encourages us, as articulated in Ms. Baker's October 4th Weathervane, to honor the values of individuals we may hold differing beliefs from and to share our views in a way that is r
