Traditions that Unite Us
Our traditions are the heartbeat of our school community, fostering connections between students, families, faculty, and alumni. These moments build bridges between generations, inspire a sense of belonging, and create memories that last a lifetime. These moments of celebration, reflection, and collaboration remind us of our shared values and strengthen the ties that make our school feel like home.
Through traditions, we celebrate who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. They provide continuity amidst change, connecting each new class to the legacy of those who came before them. Whether it’s welcoming the youngest learners with open arms, gathering to give back to the community, or celebrating milestones together, our traditions inspire a sense of unity and purpose. Here are just a few ways you can participate in the Far Hills community:

A Community for the Whole Family
At Far Hills, we deeply appreciate the role parents play in shaping our dynamic school community. When parents engage with our school, they help create a richer learning environment and strengthen the bonds that bring us together. Whether through volunteering for school events, joining committees, or simply being part of classroom activities, parents can make a real impact and create memorable experiences alongside their children. The Parents' Committee offers a fantastic opportunity to connect and collaborate with others, and we warmly invite all parents to get involved—sharing ideas, attending meetings, and contributing to the vibrant life of Far Hills.
