Seven Hills

About Seven Hills

About the School

From the curriculum to the playground, Seven Hills is designed around boys.

If you look around the school, you’ll notice it’s not very fancy. It's not like places where everything is sectioned off and you can’t touch stuff. Everything at Seven Hills belongs to all of us.

Even while building Overbrook, I can honestly say our leaders never stopped putting the students first. What I really love about Seven Hills is that people are put ahead of stuff, students before grades,
acceptance before perfection. That’s why I like to say that, at Seven Hills, I’m learning life!

–Jared Shanks, Former Student Government President

What's in a name? Richmond's seven hills are legendary -- but do they exist in fact? The wonderful Facts and Legends of The Hills of Richmond by Brooks Smith and Wayne Dementi, published by Dementi Milestone publishers, discusses the question (PDF doc).
