Theatre Director

Dear parents,
I am honored to have the opportunity to teach
your child as I enter into my sixth year teaching here
at HHCA. Over the years I have developed a heart for
working with middle school aged students as they
grow and mature during this exciting stage of life.
Their high energy levels and enthusiasm towards life
and Christ never cease to amaze me. I believe that God
has wonderful things in store for HHCA this year, and I
feel blessed to be a part of such an amazing school
family! I look forward to working with you and your
child; please let me know if you have any questions or
concerns.
God bless,
Michelle McElroy
