From Principal Drummond

Dear Hill Community, 

It was a great week back as we began the spring semester and kicked off 2023! As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow (1/16) as we observe and honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and his legacy.

Join us in giving a huge Dillo Cheer to our 2022-2023 Teacher of the Year Kaci Moore! Kaci is a fabulous 2nd grade teacher who has meant so much to Hill for many years now. She will be recognized at our annual AISD Salute! event later this spring. We also want to recognize our other two finalists for their excellence: 2nd grade teacher Michele Dare and 4th grade teacher Clayton Oden! 

Another big Dillo Cheer to Hill’s Teacher of Promise this year Coach Hannah Gloria! The Teacher of Promise goes to one outstanding first year teacher on each campus. We appreciate all that Coach Gloria does to support all of our Hill students! She will also be recognized at the AISD Salute! this year.
