Holton Hall, the school’s first building, now houses the Center’s administrative office and audiological services and is the focal center of the campus. On the hillside below Holton Hall is the school proper and soccer fields. Athletic fields, hiking trails, a swimming pool, and a ropes course are on the hillside above Holton Hall. The President’s house is in the forest not far off.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next. For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
