The Hawbridge School

The Hawbridge School is a four-year public high school that offers an enriched curriculum in Environmental Studies and the Arts and a focus on environmental stewardship as a problem of ethics. A highly accredited faculty teaches all courses needed for the North Carolina College Prep, College Tech Prep, and Career Prep diplomas.

The Hawbridge School is set in a beautifully restored historic cotton mill on the banks of the Haw River. The school features an experiential and project-based curriculum that is woven this year into five interdisciplinary units: Democracy, Community, Education, Health, and Creativity. During the 2007-2008 academic year, the interdisciplinary units were: Pottery, Textiles, the River, Power and Energy, and Sustainable Environment.

The Hawbridge School has the tools and innovative curriculum that enable students to thrive and succeed: state-of-the-art computers and online courses; a wireless network; a photography lab and darkroom; special programs on the environment; river stewardship and sustainable agriculture; excellent art and music programs; and math and science courses taught by Ph.D.s. Our recently-completed science lab and the "outdoor classrooms" that surround the school and abound along the Haw River provide spaces for scientific research, conducted under the direction of Dr. Norma Johnson, science teacher, and UNC-Chapel Hill's Institute for Environment honor fraternity and Biology Department students.

The Hawbridge School is a public charter school that primarily serves students in the following districts:

• Alamance County Schools
• Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools
• Chatham County Schools
• Durham County Schools
• Orange County Schools

Students from any school district in North Carolina may attend free of charge. During 2008-2009, students from eight districts commute to the school.

Public School: No Tuition.
