It was founded in 1951 as the replacement to Ward-Belmont College , a former " Finishing School " south of downtown Nashville. It was built as a non-residential (day) school in the Green Hills Neighborhood , a prestigious and affluent residential area southwest of downtown Nashville. It is dediciated to academic excellence in a single-sex environment. The graduates of Harpeth Hall matriculate to many of the best colleges and universities in the world. It is often regarded as something of a sister institution to Montgomery Bell Academy . The two institutions do co-operate in certain areas such as dramatic presentations, and Harpeth Hall supplies some of MBA's cheerleaders. They occasionally also are scheduled together for Basketball games. Its mascot is the Honeybears. Many outsiders jeered at the Winnie the Pooh image and the name was shortened to the Bears. However, the Honeybear is the official mascot. In March 2005, Harpeth Hall won the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) Division II State Girls' Basketball Championship. In October 2005, Harpeth Hall won the TSSAA Division II State Girls' Volleyball Championship. NOTABLE ALUMNI Famous Harpeth Hall Alumnae include:
