Public Purpose is a 5th-12th grade program that has a mission to prepare students in and out of the classroom to think critically about local and global issues and inequities. Students should leave Harpeth Hall with the skills and knowledge required to meaningfully and ethically engage with large-scale problems to actively effect change. The Public Purpose Council brings together elected representatives from different classes, clubs, and student groups to design and oversee student-led service activities. Public Purpose Officers are elected by their classmates.
