I Graduated from the HCS Teacher Leadership Program…
One of the major bright spots of teaching during a COVID year is having the opportunity to focus on professional development and finding new ways to take my teaching and leadership capacity to the next level. I am so proud that I was able to complete the Teacher Leadership Program coursework in one year instead of two. Yay me!!!! 🙂
I Won Teacher of the Year…
In what I thought would be one of the toughest teaching years of my life, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I won “Teacher of the Year” at Bethel High School (Hampton, Virginia). What a way to complete my 19th year of teaching.
I Met a Hidden Figure…
Today, I literally got to sit in the same room as Mrs. Katherine Johnson. How many people have had the opportunity to stand within two feet of a living legend? There are no words. Happy 101st Birthday Mrs. Katherine Johnson. You are my hero. #hiddenfigures
Joined HCS…
I traveled over 2,000 miles to start a new teaching journey. Wish me luck!
Goodbye Happy Friends…

I Met Erin Gruwell…
I’m so psyched. I had the amazing opportunity to meet Erin Gruwell from the Freedom Writer’s Foundation. She even autographed my book. How amazing is that?
Officially Dr. Hill…
The toughest journey of my life is now complete. I made it and I am so proud to be Dr. Natashia J. Hill.
