filming on campus

On April 19 and 20, production company Dust of the Ground came to Hammond’s campus to film promotional material. Filming took place across campus, capturing students in all three divisions from naturalist-in-residence Tom Mancke’s cabin to the Innovation Center’s SciDome. The company also captured a drama class in the Bank of America Theatre and track athletes during practice at Edens Stadium.

Hammond has worked with Dust of the Ground multiple times since the company’s inception in 2010 When creating promotional material in 2013, videographers captured 8th grade science teacher Evin Moore ‘14 as a student. During this visit, they captured Moore teaching a class of students, allowing for a parallel effect.

During the 2023 spring soccer season, both Hammond's boys' and girls' soccer teams succeed throughout the season and advanced in the playoffs.

Even further into the playoffs, the Hammond boys beat both Ben Lippen and Heathwood Hall to advance to the state championship, where they played Cardinal Newman. The Skyhawk boys lost in the championship, but they are determined to "chase a ring" next season
