EXPLORE THE HALLMARKS
For centuries, hallmarks have been used to record the quality and provenance of precious items. The Hall, with its unique spirit and profound impact on so many lives, warrants the same.
We have identified eight hallmarks which represent the enduring and emerging components of our DNA and how they can best serve our community.
Discover what each one means and what your support can do for our students.
