Scholars of the month

Every month, Great Hearts Western Hills chooses a virtue to focus on. The virtue of the month for March was Perseverance. One scholar in each class is highlighted for showing that virtue. For March, the scholars who we would like to highlight are Alissa Solombrino from 6A and Nora Angeles from 6B.

Important Information

  • Students who do not complete their homework will have to complete their homework during recess on the day the homework is due.
  • Scholars can receive a recess detention as a consequence for continual actions that distract from the learning environment during school. This is an opportunity for scholars to spend time reflecting on how to make good choices that will help them be successful here at Great Hearts. Parents will be notified before the detention is served.
  • Please make sure your scholar has his or her own copy of  The Wind in the Willows (ISBN- 978-0-14-303909-9) B&M scholars bring their books on Monday April 12This is very important as we are asking students to annotate in their own texts.
  • Please have your scholar bring a locker shelf to help with organization of materials and to make for quicker visits.
  • Please place a cover on all textbooks (Math and Biology) ASAP. These are required.
  • Uniform infractions will be issued for scholars in violation of the GH uniform policy.
