Hawken School is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory day school in Northeast Ohio.
Hawken currently has two campuses, the Lower School in Lyndhurst and the Upper School in Gates Mills. The school is known for its difficult coursework and strong athletics programs, especially men's soccer and women's swimming. Hawken's motto is "That the better self shall prevail, and each generation introduce its successor to a higher plane of life"; although a sign with the secondary motto, "Fair Play," hangs in every classroom on either campus. A new middle school complex in the Lyndhurst campus was built for the 2006-2007 school year. D. Scott Looney is the current Head of School, assuming the position on July 1, 2006. [1]
