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.

It’s a special memory for Gabrielle Arkle ’12. When she was younger, she visited the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. The museum features more than 150 restored aircraft representing the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard aviation.
If there’s one thing Elizabeth Blankenship-Singh ’08 knows about, it’s pivoting. It’s something she has done successfully several times and something she believes Hutchison prepared her well for.
The best coaches teach you lessons that last long after the final buzzer. Ten alumnae hope to impart what they learned through Hutchison athletics by coaching girls in sports such as soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and volleyball.
