Dear Families and Community Members,

I am honored to become the next principal of Pierce School. I feel fortunate to join a community that cares so much for their children and a school that works to create authentic and valuable learning experiences for every child. 

I have dedicated the last 20 years to the field of education creating meaningful learning experiences for children. Prior to working as your principal, I worked with many grade levels in different capacities. I spent most of my time teaching third and fourth grade at Greenfield Elementary School and Antrim Elementary School. I also spent some time teaching reading interventions for grades K-4. Before that I worked for the Harris Center for Conservation Education. I have always enjoyed connecting children with learning outside their classroom walls and integrating those experiences into their everyday learning. I am transitioning from Francestown Elementary School, where I have been the principal for the last 2 years. I am thrilled to continue my work with the children at Pierce School. 

On a personal note, I have lived within the ConVal School district for the last 20 years. I have three children. My 11 year old is a soon to be sixth grader who loves to dance. I also have twin 7 year olds. They will begin second grade in the fall. Our family loves exploring our community and spending time outside.

I am enthusiastic to build upon and grow the traditions and successes at Pierce. I look forward to collaborating with you and your children. This summer I will be reaching out to teachers, families, and community members to learn more about your school and community. Please be on the lookout for a newsletter in the near future.  If you would like to set up an appointment to discuss our wonderful school, I can be reached at rhill@conval.edu or (603) 588-2131.
