Hotchkiss Alumni for Reconciliation and Healing - HAFRAH

HAFRAH’s purpose is to ensure that leaders at Hotchkiss

  • honestly recognize and acknowledge sexual misconduct and abuse that has occurred at our school

  • retain a truly independent investigator who will create an honest and accurate report of past sexual abuse at Hotchkiss

  • release the entire report to the school community

  • hold accountable those who perpetrated, tolerated or covered up sexual abuse

  • provide mental health assistance to survivors of sexual abuse at Hotchkiss in a manner which assures their confidentiality

  • develop state of the art policies and procedures at Hotchkiss to prevent sexual abuse

  • promote a culture at Hotchkiss which has a zero tolerance for sexual abuse.

We believe that reconciliation and healing from past abuse is possible and that Hotchkiss has the capability – and the responsibility – to pursue these goals. HAFRAH aims to promote healing and strengthen the past and present Hotchkiss community.
