HILDA GOODLING

When considering a name for their newly created private school, the founders looked no further than to Hilda Goodling, a York County, Pennsylvania educator who greatly influenced the lives of hundreds of children and teachers throughout her 40 + year career. Her husband, US Congressman William Goodling, shared her passion and was responsible for shaping education policy on a national level. Mrs. Goodling loved to teach children to read, realizing that no matter the circumstances, one can always gain knowledge through reading. After “retiring” from York Suburban School District, she worked as an assistant in classrooms throughout the Baltimore area, ‘IMPACTING’ children who were at the greatest risk of failing. Given that our school’s one cornerstone is academic rigor, the founders felt certain that, by honoring Mrs. Goodling’s memory, her exemplary standards in education would continue to positively influence both our students and teachers.

HGIA Post Graduate Basketball ProgramA Post High School Program for the Elite Basketball Player

Through skills training, nutrition and conditioning, a highly competitive game schedule, character development, and an increase in academic proficiency, the mission of HGI Academy is to prepare the post high school student-athlete to excel on and off the court, in the collegiate classroom, and throughout life.

How HGIA Helps Post-Graduates Seeking College PlacementThe purpose of HGI Academy’s prep school program is to provide a bridge between high school and college, affording students with the opportunity to mature physically, emotionally, socially, and academically. We expect our student-athletes to not only gain more in-depth knowledge of the game of basketball, but to develop strong internal values; therefore, setting themselves above others vying for the same athletic scholarship.

The emphasis at HGI Academy is on excellence; we teach, model, and demand a superior work ethic in all aspects of the program. Our goal is that our students will bring honor and respect to their families, teammates, school, and themselves through diligence, hard work, dedication and exemplary character. As a result of our superior basketball and character building program, our students become very attractive prospects to college coaches searching for that high character, skilled player to award a scholarship to.

College recruiting can be a highly pressured and often confusing situation for student-athletes and their families. At HGI Academy, we remove the angst by becoming the liaison between the college coaches and the student-athlete. Over the years, we have developed relationships with many D1 coaches who respect our program’s philosophy, our commitment to the student-athlete and the family, and the quality of our graduates. We schedule unofficial and official college visits, exposing our student-athletes to the variety of options available to them. We meet regularly with each family to discuss the attributes of each college, setting our sights on the ultimate goal for the student-athlete: to receive a full college scholarship.

Orientation Orientation focuses on the ‘whole student-athlete’ approach, gathering data to develop an extensive composite of each individual. Once completed, the instructional and coaching staff have a blueprint from which they outline the specific goals and objectives for every student-athlete.

• A student-athlete and family ‘meet and greet’ dinner with all HGI Academy staff jump starts the prep year.

• Students take the Accuplacer, a test that assesses current reading, writing, math, and computer skills. This computer-generated test ascertains core academic strengths and weaknesses, and provides data to develop an academic enhancement plan. The goal of this plan is to better prepare the student for success in college level courses. Students whose academic profiles indicate they are prepared for the rigors of college-level content are eligible to enroll in courses at Harrisburg Area Community College.

• The Jung-Myers Briggs Personality Typology Test is administered to each student, providing a reference for increasing understanding and communication between staff and the student-athlete, and assisting the student-athlete as he or she relates to others in daily life.

• Student-athletes take an interest inventory assessment to assist in developing a career path. Based on the results of the inventory, the Advisor suggests agencies or organizations where the student athlete may complete the program’s 40 hour Service Project requirement.

• The Advisor assists the student-athlete schedule in scheduling two SAT/ACT testing dates, one in November and the other in February.

• The student-athlete meets with the Dietician to discuss medical and diet history, weight, and physical measurements. When necessary, a personalized meal plan may be devised and realistic weight goals may be determined.

• The coaches schedule speed and agility, strength and conditioning, and basketball skills tests for the student-athlete.

• Each student-athlete can meet with a youth pastor or counselor to determine the need or desire for spiritual or life issues guidance.

• Student-athletes attend group sessions to discuss: o Trenches, a comprehensive basketball life skills program. o Program Expectations (behavior and other rules) o Creating a Leadership Development Plan o Recruiting

Weary Arts Group … WAG Arts for Artists, Arts for everyone.HGIA is proud to participate with the Weary Arts Group, a Performing Arts Club for all students in grades 6-12. The club runs from 3:00 – 6:00 PM Monday Through Friday.

In the time of Shakespeare, plays were performed on a tilted stage. This was done so that the people who sat on the ground could experience the performance, ensuring everyone had access to the arts. The time has come to tilt the stage once again. We believe in this philosophy and intend to bring excellence in the arts to everyone.

Membership to The Weary Arts Group offers an on-site Performing Arts experience for students of all ages to excel. Our professional staff of artists connect students to the benefits of an arts rich life, using a renaissance holistic approach to learning. Dance, Act, Sing or learn to shoot that Camera that has been collecting dust.

The fee for membership to the club is $35/month per student. The club offers a variety of “drop in” arts experiences for everyone, no matter their experience level.
