Immersive academic, service, and cultural opportunities abound, and graduates attend many of the country's top universities. The school is consistently honored by well-regarded educational instutions, social service organizations, and journalistic publications. The number of HB students who have been named finalists or semifinalists in the prestigious Intel and Siemens science competitions far surpasses all other schools in Ohio and all independent girls' day schools in the United States. In 2010, more students at HB were recognized by the National Merit and National Achievement scholarship programs than any other member of the Cleveland Council of Independent Schools. The school's athletics program is outstanding, with two current State Champion and two State Runner-Up designations to its credit, along with numerous regional and divisional titles.
