Entrance to Mt. Hermon Schools

"Northfield Mount Hermon, commonly referred to as NMH, is a co-educational college-preparatory boarding and day school for students in grades 9–12 and postgraduates. The school is located on the banks of the Connecticut River in Gill, Massachusetts, United States.

Originally two neighboring schools — the Northfield School for Girls, founded in 1879, and the Mount Hermon School for Boys, founded in 1881 — NMH merged into a single institution in 1972 and consolidated on one campus in 2006...

The school was originally founded by Protestant evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody as the Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies in 1879 (later called the Northfield School for Girls) and the Mount Hermon School for Boys in 1881. Moody built the girls' school in Northfield, Massachusetts, the town of his birth, and the boys' school a few miles away in the town of Gill. Moody's goal was to provide the best possible education for young people without privilege, and he enrolled students whose parents were slaves as well as Native Americans and people from other countries, which was unprecedented among elite private schools at that time..." wikipedia
