A Well Rounded Education
Named for a canyon traveled by western tribes heading east to hunt buffalo, Hellgate High School has a century-long heritage of academic distinction and respected alumni! R. J. Gibson designed our main building which first opened in 1908. The community added our newest annex in 2002.
Hellgate High School is located close to the University of Montana and is widely recognized for diversity and tolerance among the student body. Hellgate provides an ideal balance of academic rigor, opportunities for exploration, and extra curricular programs to support our goal of graduating responsible, civic-minded leaders of the future.
Mission Statement
Hellgate High School, in partnership with students, parents, and the community, will provide a rigorous education in a safe environment through which students can acquire knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to fulfill their adult roles and responsibilities in the twenty-first century.
