Within the Hilliard City Schools we focus on instilling a passion for growth in ourselves, our staff and our students. We push ourselves to #TheEdge each day to be the best for our students, colleagues, district, parents and the community we serve. We expect to be at the top of our profession. We push to be innovative, to take risk, to demonstrate a growth mindset and to stay above the line. We strive to provide a world class experience for our students that prepares them to be ready for tomorrow. We believe we have created this environment within our district because of the amazing staff that we have in front of our students each day. Those staff members all are relentless in their pursuit to #BeELITE in their classroom for their students.
So today we pressed pause and took time to simply say "thank you". To show gratitude for all the little and big things these professionals do each day to create a first class experience for our students. To let them know that they are appreciated and that their hard work does not go unnoticed. These teachers demonstrate a passion for growth which has created a classroom culture that promotes risk taking and fosters student growth both academically and socially! They are preparing students to be Ready for Tomorrow! THANK YOU!
We hope you enjoy reading about the first in a series of HCSD Walks of Gratitude! This week we feature Davidson HS, Weaver MS and Tharp Sixth Grade.
Hilliard Davidson High School
Lindsay Limbacher and Erin Vance are
our teachers in the life skills class. They LOVE our students! This year they
have started a school store run by their students. Staff, parents and students
have loved seeing them at the front door. Come stop by and pick up their
hottest selling item, the iPad stylus! - Davidson Admin Team
Brad McKinley is an educator who goes above and
beyond to help his students succeed. He is caring and compassionate with
all of his students and does an excellent job of communicating expectations
with students and parents. He is constantly working towards being
innovative in his classroom to help his students succeed. Brad is a
valuable asset to the Davidson High School and community.- Davidson Admin Team
Sam Stille has taken the R Factor to another level.
Talk about a true team player! Sam volunteered to build an R Factor
curriculum, from scratch, that was used by Davidson’s R Factor teacher and
student trainers at the beginning of the school year. The lessons within
the curriculum were outstanding and were chock full of engaging videos and
activities. Additionally, Sam has already created the materials we will
use to roll out R 5 to our student body during Block Week in October.- Davidson Admin Team
Hilliard Weaver Middle School
The following teachers have shown a continued commitment to
the implementation of instructional best practices in the area in which they
teach. Their dedication to the HCSD school community and their unwavering
belief in the culture of Weaver Middle School is essential to our
collective success and these teachers demonstrate this day in and day
out.
Our Weaver teachers exemplify the Power of the Team by
engaging themselves in meaningful collaboration with colleagues, demonstrate a
Passion for Growth by being active participants in purposeful professional
development and model their own success and failures in the teaching and
learning environment by embracing the phrase, Stand Up and Own It.
At Weaver Middle School we have many teachers that continue to
push themselves in all aspects of their work. Their service to our students and
our parents is unwavering.
We are grateful to recognize the first of many teachers this year
at Weaver and across the district so that our colleagues can also
celebrate the excellence that exists in the HCSD learning community. - Craig Vroom/Sam Althouse
Hilliard Tharp Sixth Grade Building
Tharp would like to honor and recognize the outstanding best practices in teaching and learning implemented by our science data team who go above and beyond to create the strongest, most effective data team I have ever seen. They are leading the way with innovative best practices in science instruction while personalizing learning. An example of this would be the “Darby Creek Experience” they have created for every student at Tharp which fosters scientific inquiry, real life application and working with local community agencies to monitor the water quality of Darby Creek. Here is the write up on the district website about the experience. - Cori Kindl
Thank you to our building administration for fostering cultures in their buildings that allow staff to #BeELITE.
