Alumni

If a school can be measured by the success of its graduates, HMJDS has clearly earned its outstanding reputation. Since our first class graduated in 1992, more than 350 students have completed their studies at the Day School. Through alumni surveys, we know our former students have continued to build upon their strong foundation of Jewish tradition and values gained at HMJDS. They’ve continued to distinguish themselves—and make their schools and families proud—through continued engagement in Jewish life and an assortment of educational, personal, and professional achievements.

HMJDS graduates have gone on to many of the country’s top institutions and studied a variety of disciplines. Our sixth grade class of 2005 recently graduated from high school. Check out this impressive array of colleges and other destinations that await them:

“HMJDS taught me the importance of community and the benefits of learning in an intimate, close-knit environment. As alumni we are all proud of each other and feel deeply connected and indebted to HMJDS.” – HMJDS Graduate
