'Husky-isms'
As you’ve likely realized, Flint Hill has a strong culture. From day one at Flint Hill, students learn our core values and quickly become immersed in our culture of character and ethos of teamwork. There are several terms that are unique to our culture. You’ve probably already heard some as you’ve gotten to know us. As we play for the long game together, you’ll be hearing more of the Husky-isms below!
Our Core Values: When a school is united by commonly held core values, we come together as a community that acts with integrity, mutual respect and compassion, and support for one another. Flint Hill’s core values are fundamental to our culture. They are taught to our youngest grades and reinforced throughout our students’ education. These values are the measure of all we do and inspire us to be our best selves each and every day.
Our core values are:
- Respect and value all equally
- Lead and support with compassion
- Act with integrity
- Imagine what’s possible
- Blaze the trail
Pulling the Sled: When Flint Hill students understand what it means to be a Husky, they understand the benefits of teamwork in the most profound and practical ways. We work together as a pack to make sure our team crosses the finish line or meets the goal.
The Driving Spirit: This is the passion and purpose we bring to everything we do at Flint Hill.
Igloo/The Den: These are our snack bars, which are open after school and during sporting/community events. They are often staffed by parent volunteers, so it is a great way to get to know other Husky parents.
Klondike: Our beloved mascot. At Flint Hill, school spirit is not just about athletics — it’s everywhere and so is Klondike!
