As I attended the Class of 2009 graduation ceremony I was impressed by the ratio of students to teachers at Hales. I remember when I was a student there from 1964-1967 the student body was much larger. I thought back in those days that Hales was a small shool and therefore able to give a lot of individual attention to students. This was true then and is even more so now. My cousin who was a graduate this year stands as proof positive that Hales still puts out first class men. I am proud of my alma mater. I am proud to be a Spartan. Nate Jones
As the wife of a 1979 graduate of Hales, the parent of a 2002 graduate, as well as two current students, I am extremely pleased with the education that my sons have and currently are receiving at Hales. My older son has completed college, gained employment and is working to acheive his career goals. My husband attributes much of his academic and career success to the education and support that he received at Hales. Hales continues to thrive under new leadership and increased donor support. The teachers and principal are 100% dedicated to providing our young men with the tools they need to succeed as educated leaders in the African American community and the world!!!!! Simply put, the emphasis on academic acheivement and environment of unconditional support at Hales brings out the best in these young men.
Hales is a pillar of the community in which it is located. Hales does an outstanding job of turning boys into black men, which the world can definitely benefit from today. Certainly parent involvement plays a role, but the level of dedication from the staff at Hales is unparalled. Keep in mind that the teachers at Hales could easily teach in the CPS system, which would put less pressure on them to perform while making their pockets fatter. As an alum, and as a current Howard University student, I have a great level of respect for what Hales is, and what, if I can help it, it will continue to be. In Virum Perfectum, Ad Infinitum!
