City on a Hill Charter Public School Home

We are Grizzlies

As we embark on our 30th and final year as a Charter High School in Boston, we are reminded that City on a Hill is much more than just a place to go to school.  City on a Hill is a community of people; students, families, staff, and stakeholders, who are inspired by our vision, driven by our mission of Citizenship, and our core values of Public Accountability, Academic Achievement, and Teacher Leadership. It's a great time to be a Grizzly!
