Celebrating Our Faculty & Staff
Hutchison's faculty and staff guide, motivate, and inspire our girls to think big and work hard. They have a wealth of training and experience. More than 60% of our faculty and staff hold advanced degrees and many have received local and national recognition for work in their respective fields. Each year we take time to honor faculty and staff who have been making a difference in the lives of our girls for significant periods of time. This year we honor 21 people. They are beloved teachers, administrators, and support staff who consider Hutchison their second home. Their passion for education and love for our school and its mission are a few of the many reasons we are a strong community. We appreciate their continued commitment to Hutchison and their impact on the educational experiences of Hutchison girls.
There are also new faces among the faculty and staff at Hutchison. Learn more about their experience and be sure to welcome them to the Hutchison community.
