 | After the commencement ceremony at Hebron Academy, the graduating class joins together; they grab a strong rope, hand beside hand, and pull in unison to ring the victory bell. The bell is a sound recognized by everyone in the community. Throughout the year, when Hebron teams are victorious they ring the bell, and simultaneously all over campus, students, faculty, and staff enjoy a celebration of achievement and success.
The victory bell is a deeply-felt tradition and source of pride at Hebron...but even more than the bell, it is the rope that embodies our character. Through joining together on the rope, our achievements are shared with the community. And, through joining together as a community, we support each other. Figuratively, each of us lends a hand in pulling the rope and ringing the bell.
We look forward to meeting you and introducing you to Hebron Academy; it's truly a special place.
