In a world where 60%  of young female athletes are struggling with body image, it is necessary to shap

By: Zaara Hisamuddin When The Neighbourhood announced they were going on a hiatus in 2021, many fans like me were devastated.

They even pre-released three songs: Private, OMG, and Lovebomb. While I thought Lov

This November, the Tower Hill Theater program successfully solved that mystery in their presentation of Clue: On Stage  for the fall play. Clue  is a farcical murder mystery heavily influenced by the board gam

That group is, in fact, the Tower Hill Vocal Ensemble, and there is actually much more to what we do than what meets the eye…or ear. The Vocal Ensemble is a small, audition-based group of talented singers who perform a wide range of music from classical pieces to contemporary pop a

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: Maya Doraiswamy To those seeking to ban our books, I write to you as one of the nearly 55 million young students in our nation whom you are taking from. Our education and public resources are meant to provide tools for analyzing, questioning, and challenging the world around us.
