Partners in Learning: HTS Teachers
At HTS, teaching is not a job. It is a vocation. Our teachers take immense pride in encouraging, challenging and inspiring their students to live and learn to their full potential.
There is no shortage of good teachers in schools today, but the educators who are drawn to HTS are a cut above. Beyond expertise in their particular subject area, beyond their individual qualifications of education and experience, they have a gift for helping young people discover and develop the best that is within them. It’s a skill that begins in the classroom, but doesn’t end there.

Participation in co-curriculars is expected for faculty as well as students at our school, and HTS teachers wouldn’t have it any other way. Many who were top athletes in their undergrad years now coach championship HTS teams. Others bring to life valuable lessons about the rewards of perseverance and teamwork through theatrical productions and community service programs.
It is all part of the unique HTS experience. It helps to create confident, well-rounded students. Most of all, it fosters the bond of trust and mutual respect, the easy rapport that is so clearly in evidence in the hallways, on the playing field, in concert halls and at Chapel.
For teachers and students alike, that is the very best part of HTS.
