Staff & Faculty

Over half of Hilger Higher Learning’s faculty and staff have 10+ years of teaching and administration experience, with more than 325 years combined across private schools, public schools, and at HHL. This depth of experience, along with many who have homeschooled their own children, makes us the premier homeschool tutorial in Chattanooga. Our teachers provide weekly accountability, graded feedback, and supportive guidance to help students succeed in and out of the classroom. We invite you to learn more about our dedicated faculty and staff through their short biographies.
