Roger and Hortense Hill - Todd School
Title
Roger and Hortense Hill - Todd School
Description
Noble Hill’s son Roger “Skipper” Hill joined the school faculty in 1921 and became headmaster when his father retired in 1928. Skipper believed in enriching student life and learning outside of the classroom. Skipper expanded the drama & music and agriculture and animal husbandry programs as well as starting an aviation program, which included building an airport on the land that is now Marian Central Catholic High School. Skipper is pictured here with his wife, Hortense.
The Todd School for Boys (1848–1954) was an independent school located in Woodstock, Illinois founded by Reverend Richard Kimball Todd, a Presbyterian pastor. Under the guidance of Headmaster Noble Hill in the 1920s and Hill’s son Roger in the 1930s, it became known as a progressive school that provided students with a creative educational environment that emphasized practical experience over traditional academics. The main Todd School Campus was located on the northeast corner of the Rt. 47 (Seminary Ave) and Rt. 120 (McHenry Ave.) junction.
