The HOL Student File Database is now online! Features include student lists (sorted by House, year, and position), and a page for each HOL student with contact information and their individual accomplishments and classes. Please read this post for more information on this awesome and helpful new application.
Due to their size, Headmaster Dybendahl has had to delete some avatars from the main HOL forum (a list of the ones removed can be found here). Although avatars can be re-uploaded, please make sure that the maximum size of any avatar in the HOL forum is 64x64 pixels.

The Class Sign-Ups page is now online! Before completing the form, please make sure you know which classes you want to take and if you have the time to do them all. You will not be able to change your class picks during the sign-up time; any changes will have to be negotiated later. You may pick only one primary class. If you pick more than one, there is the possibility that all your sign-ups will be deleted. All classes will be available for sign-up until 2 September 2002. Classes that still have available openings after that date will be available for sign-up until 15 September. Next to your primary class, you can add more classes for this term. The professor will either confirm or delete your secondary choices; please do not pick too many. If you drop out of a class during the term, or if the professor has to remove you from his list for not doing the homework or exam, this will be added to your student file.
Please welcome HOL's new Professors:
Prof. Nina Atlas (Literature)
Prof. Morgaine de Avalon (Art)
