Welcome to TEAM HILL!  I am Mrs. Hill.  Let me tell you a little bit about myself.  Huddle up!

I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and lived in the same house until I graduated from high school.  My parents still live there!!

I knew I wanted to become a teacher ever since I was in the second grade...

 

...so after high school, I moved to Alabama to attend Auburn University.

       

In 1999, after graduating from Auburn with my teaching degree, I moved back to Baton Rouge to start my teaching career as a second grade teacher.  In 2000, I married my college sweetheart and moved to Austin.

My husband and I have been married for seven years, and we just welcomed our first child, Connor, into our family on Valentine's Day.  Our previous "only child"...a 65 lb yellow lab named Hailey...is unhappily learning how to share all of the attention!!

We are also kept busy with our many nieces and nephews.  I have one brother and two sisters, and my husband has two brothers and two sisters.  Between all of them, we have six nieces and three nephews.  When we get together for the holidays, it is like another classroom!!

 

                                 

Because I live eight hours away from the nearest family, I lean on my friends a lot for support and advice.  I have several friends from high school that have also moved to Austin, and I have made many new friends since I've been here.  I treasure each of them.  Here I am with some of my friends at my ten year high school reunion!

I love to travel, although I do not get to as much as I would like.  This summer I did get to go to Destin, Florida to spend a week at the beach with my husband's family and to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to visit my family.  Here we are with Connor on his first trip to the beach!

This is my seventh year teaching here at McCoy.  I taught fifth grade for three years and this is my fourth year in third grade.  Before McCoy, I taught first grade in Austin and second grade in Baton Rouge.  McCoy is definitely my favorite!!
