Our Story: Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future
For more than 60 years, our community has been rooted in Catholic education in the Lasallian and Benedictine tradition. From Archbishop Murray Memorial High School and Hill High School to Hill-Murray School, our history is rich with faith, learning, and tradition.
At the same time, we are called to move forward with purpose. During the 2020–2021 school year, our community came together to chart the course for the next five years. The result is Go Boldly: The Hill-Murray Strategic Plan—a vision built on five strategic pillars that draw from leading educational research while staying grounded in our Catholic values.
Together, our past and future define who we are: a school committed to excellence today, and to becoming one of the finest independent Catholic schools in the nation tomorrow.
