The Beat Goes On - Hornet Alums Playing in College

Hamden Hall has maintained a rich tradition of athletic excellence, reflected by the many league and New England trophies and banners on display. Our championship teams play schedules that include many opponents far larger than us, demonstrating our ability and willingness to compete with anyone. Another part of that tradition is the significant number of scholar-athletes who go on to play at the collegiate level. On average, ten percent of each graduating class has gone on to play in college. Last year's Class of 2016 (81 grads) has no fewer than 15 playing this year! We are proud that so many of our grads can earn both academic and athletic success at the highest level, a great reflection on the Hamden Hall experience.
