Meet Our Students

Hi, my name is Renata. I'm currently a sophomore and I have become increasingly involved in Head-Royce over the three years I've been here. Through student council and team sports, I have gotten to know people from all different grades and have made so many memories with these people I love.

Even coming in eighth grade, I felt welcomed by my peers and embraced by the faculty. The small community has given me a comfortable atmosphere to work in, compared to my large middle school. Not only do I receive the help I need from the dedicated teachers, but my fellow students are also willing to lend a hand. Because of Head-Royce, I have learned to be an effective student. Whether at volleyball practice or studying with a friend, I feel changed for the better. This close-knit community has taught me to find inspiration every day and work towards my goals until they are achieved.

Hi, my name is Mercer and I have attended Head Royce since sixth grade. In coming to Head Royce, I was skeptical: I had heard about the school that had a reputation for being all boring lectures with mindless, robotic students only focused on getting into college. These stereotypes were dead wrong. 

From my first minutes at Head Royce, I found myself learning and laughing, making friends and being able to probe the minds of wonderfully brilliant teachers in a safe and fun learning environment. Boring lectures are kept to a minimum, while interest and enthusiasm are kept to a maximum. As for getting into college...it's certainly on kids' minds, but that is the same as you'll find at any high school!  Overall, Head Royce has been a wonderful and wildly educational experience.

There is a great academic environment here, where students and teachers learn from each other. The teachers are amazing, and classroom discussions are interesting and engaging. Classrooms are dynamic with lots of energy. I particularly like my math and science classes, but I am challenged by all of my courses. The Head-Royce teachers are committed to helping you grow as both a student and a person. The environment at Head-Royce allows you, and encourages you, to love learning.

Hi, my name is Jackie.  The past four years that I have spent at Head-Royce have been filled with some of the most memorable times of my life. The transition from one small private school to another, slightly larger school was one easy step that I do not regret taking. I was quickly welcomed into the Head-Royce community from my first day on campus. I have been able to pursue all of my interests, both in and out of the classroom.

My passion for volleyball has continued to grow thanks to the incredible volleyball program at our school.  In 2006, our team won the BCL-East league championship and this year we are pursuing an even greater goal of NCS champions.

Inside the classroom, the small class sizes and passionate teachers have enabled me to not only learn the curriculum, but also gain an even deeper understanding of it. My classes and membership in the Latino Club have also helped me to become more culturally aware. I know that after my experience at Head-Royce I will emerge as a well learned, global citizen, all due to the support and encouragement that I received along the way.

Hi! My name is Vanita. This is my second year at Head-Royce and I am in Middle School. I chose Head-Royce for a few reasons. When I visited, everyone was so welcoming and nice. They went out of their way to include me and talk to me. The classes were challenging and exciting, and I was never bored. The teachers seemed great and the students looked like they were having so much fun. The school just felt like a fun place to learn.

Now that I am here, I still find it just as exciting and engaging. I have made friends and I am enjoying all my classes. Reading, writing, and playing the piano are things that I enjoy very much and there is so much opportunity to do it all. I am looking forward to the years ahead at Head-Royce. 

Hi, my name is Julia and I am a sophomore this year at Head-Royce School.

The faculty encourages participation and risk-taking in classroom discussions.  There is no such thing as a dumb question.  The upperclassmen in my drama and chorus classes inspire me with their talent.  I have a part in the Fall play this year, and am learning so much from my Drama teacher, Ms. Ray, and the student directors. I am also a member of the school chorus and am fortunate to be taking private voice lessons on campus once a week.

Finally, my friends and I are forming a Barbershop octet, and Mr. Wells, our chorus director, has offered to help us get organized. These are just a few of the activities that I have jumped into during my first few months at Head-Royce. High School is a time to explore one's interests in life and the Head-Royce community provides the nurturing foundation required to tackle new challenges.
