More than 6,600 students from 1,500 schools across the country competed June 15-21 at the National Speech and Debate Association national tournament in Des Moines, Iowa. By week's end, the Hawken Speech and Debate Team earned the Association's highest honor and was named a School of Outstanding Distinction, awarded to the top ten schools in the country for overall speech and debate excellence. Hawken was the only school in Ohio to receive this honor.
In 2015, as part of the design work to create the Mastery School of Hawken, Head of School Scott Looney created the model for the Mastery Transcript, a new digital transcript that assessed academic credits through faculty review of digital portfolios of student’s best work, rather than seat time in courses, and without letter grades.
