In our community, we have a significant number of students in our Prep,
Middle, and Senior schools with nut allergies. For them, ingesting or merely coming in contact with nuts may cause reactions from mild discomfort to anaphylactic shock leading to death.
Since HGS believes in providing a safe and secure learning environment, we have moved to a “nut free” community.
