Seminary Hill School (officially Seminary Hill Elementary School) is a public school located at 20 Seminary Hill in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, United States. It is part of the Lebanon School District (SAU#88). The Lebanon-West Lebanon ZIP code boundary is slightly different from the school zoning boundary, so some students with Lebanon mailing addresses attend Seminary Hill School. The school teaches grades 4–6 and had a total of approximately 175 students in the 2004–2005 school year. It was first built in 1854 under the direction of William Tilden as Tilden Female Seminary.
Famous quotes containing the words hill and/or school:
“The longer a woman remains single, the more apprehensive she will be of entering into the state of wedlock. At seventeen or eighteen, a girl will plunge into it, sometimes without either fear or wit; at twenty, she will begin to think; at twenty-four, will weigh and discriminate; at twenty-eight, will be afraid of venturing; at thirty, will turn about, and look down the hill she has ascended, and sometimes rejoice, sometimes repent, that she has gained that summit sola.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
