Academics
In the spring of 2019, Associate Headmaster Len Miller announced the names of the eight members of The Hill School faculty who are being promoted as part of ASPIRE, Hill's tiered compensation program. We asked them some "out of the box" questions to help introduce you to the men and women who teach, coach, mentor, and inspire our students on a daily basis.
