Our family was at this school for two years. We've moved away and have not been able to find a school that even comes close!

My children loved their friends at the school and with the new direction the school will be impossible to surpass. We are doing all we can to return to HPFS. Children there are loved, respected, and expected to work hard; however, they have fun while learning. The faith is gently introduced--no dogma or extreme fundamentalism--just wonderful core values anyone of any faith would want to instill. Read less

I have two children at HPFS and would not have them anywhere else.
