    Each HKS student has the opportunity to attend our Creative Arts class at least once a week on campus.  Throughout the year, students experience the arts through touch and sound.  Their imaginations are expanded with each lesson.

    Marianna Greene Henry Special Equestrian Program
    Many HKS students visit the Marianna Green Henry Special Equestrian Program to learn how to relate to people by developing a relationship with a gentle, nonjudgmental animal first.  Balance, posture, strength and flexibility are all positive gains with hippotherapy.  For more information regarding hippotherapy and the Marianna Green Henry Special Equestrian Program, please click here.
