Humans Of Hilton College is inspired by the lovely humans in our community. They are people of character and often behind the scenes: kind, curious and sometimes a little quirky. The boys profiled here might not be top of their class or make the first team. But make no mistake, they will make their mark in the world. And it will be good. The staff profiled here have back stories that have shaped them into the understanding, empathetic and broadminded people they are. All of them are treasures to us. HOHC is modelled on Humans of New York
