Mooreland Hill School Kicks off it's 86th Year!!

Mooreland Hill School has a new head of school, Reed Rathgeber, a new mascot Birdie, and a new look!

Mooreland Hill School, located at 166 Lincoln Street in Kensington, opened its doors for the 86th year this week. During drop off, the new Head of School, Reed Rathgeber, welcomed students and parents with the traditional handshake. In looking around the school, it is apparent that a great deal of hard work had been accomplished over the summer, thanks to the tireless efforts of alumni, friends, and family in the community who came to spruce up the school both inside and out. Inside, the classrooms and common spaces were reorganized and polished up to welcome students to a new year. Spaces were also replete with new technology, including class sets of Chromebooks, new Chromebases in the library, and wireless printers. Students will begin using Google Classroom and Google Apps for Education this year at Mooreland Hill.

Ms. Rathgeber anticipates that the use of these Google products will provide Mooreland students and staff with essential digital tools in a safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly workspace. Together students and staff will become skillful learners and innovators through the use of these new tools. Many thanks to all those who helped Mooreland Hill School get ready for the new year. In particular, special thanks to Dainty Rubbish for their donation of large dumpsters, as well as Stan Jacunski and Redstone Maintenance for carpet cleaning. The school looks great, and students are beginning a wonderful year of learning. The Mooreland Hill School Community truly is a special group of people.
