The Gothic spire of Hale Tower is one of the most memorable aspects of the Quad buildings. It houses two art studio classrooms, a Latin classroom, administrators offices, and a game room for our boarders. Our younger students delight in discovering the “whispering arch” quality of the Hale Tower doorway.
The building dates back to the first decade of the 20th century, and was named for Edward Everett Hale, the prominent author, Unitarian minister and educator whose patriotic story “A Man Without a Country” sought to sway Northern sympathies against the Confederacy. A portrait of Hale hangs inside Hale Tower.
