Message from the Dean of Admission Erby L. Mitchell, Jr
Welcome prospective students and families, and thank you for your interest in Hotchkiss. As you visit this page, I want to acknowledge the anxiety that many of us are feeling. All around us, the global pandemic continues, while incidences of anti-Black racism are driving significant cultural debate and self-examination. As a result of these times, each of our prospective families will be in a different place in the boarding school search process. I am with you, our school community is with you, and we look forward to supporting your interest in Hotchkiss.
