Nathan Hale is a progressive public high school known for its collaborative, presentation-based curriculum and strong community connection.

This significant facility modernization and addition to the 1960s structure creates a flexible teaching space that puts student life at the center of the school, respects the existing structural rhythm, allows the existing building to breathe fresh air and daylight, and unites the campus community.

Light-filled halls and classrooms, as well as the building transparency, express the school’s values and provide a healthy inspirational environment.
