Welcome to Friends!

The best way to convey to you, the prospective family or child, all that Harford Friends School offers is for you to visit us and experience it for yourself. Absolutely nothing in Harford County compares to the dynamic level of engagement, sense of purpose, and interaction of our students with their teachers and with one another. As one parent said after only a few minutes of touring, “There’s a real energy here. I can feel it. What a wonderful place to learn and grow!” As both a parent and as the Head of School I agree wholeheartedly.

The next best way to convey to you the lasting impact of a Friends education is to share with you the experience of our graduates and their families. From our surveys of graduates and their families we’ve learned that a Harford Friends School graduate is…

Confident: “HFS prepared me to compete academically with any other student.”

Creative: “HFS contributed to my confidence in personalizing my own education. Teachers also encouraged my voice, especially in writing.”

Involved: high school sports, musical ensembles, mock trial, book club, various academic honor societies, etc.

a Scholar: 87% report high school grade point averages of 3.3 or higher

a Leader: “He knows himself and finds the value of each person regardless of whether he ‘likes’ them.”

Transformed: “I have learned a lot about myself and the world around me, and feel ready for almost anything.”

Please visit us and become a part of this incredible journey!

In peace,
Jonathan Huxtable
Head of School
