We will know your child

“O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.” – Psalm 139:1-2 In Psalm 139, David stands in awe that God knows everything about him and perfectly understands his ways. In the same way God knows your child’s likes and dislikes, their temperament and tendencies, we desire to know our students and point them to Jesus.

We will

know

your child

We will love your child

When did God start loving your child? From eternity past! Regarding the nation of Israel, God tells the prophet Jeremiah, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” (Jeremiah 31:3) At Hill Country, we strive to love our students as Jesus loves them – unconditionally.

We will

love

your child

We will prepare your child

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” We are motivated with a Christ-like passion to see students equipped to lay hold of the incredible life God has designed specifically for them – all to bring Him glory!

We will

prepare

There are many things we love about Hill Country,

but two of them are the close-knit community and our faculty. The greatest assets of this school are the teachers, staff, and coaches who invest so much of their time into our children to become Christian leaders and lifelong learners.

First graders celebrated their dads with an annual "Thankful for Dads" event. Students read books they wrote to their fathers, sang, and enjoyed a hearty breakfast together.

Head of School, Mr. Donnowitz, spoke to the students and their dads about the role God has given fathers. From Proverbs 17:6, we learn that "the glory of children is their fathers," and we want to do everything we can to reinforce that God-given role.

IN the Classroom: Educating. Preparing. Inspiring.

In this new series, IN the Classroom, I’m interviewing six teachers about their philosophy of education, why they choose to teach at Hill Country, and their favorite things about working with students. These interviews progress chronologically by grade, providing unique insights and thoughts from the hearts of our educators and giving a glimpse of what it’s like to learn in their classrooms.

In our first interview, I sit down with first grade teacher, Sherrie Reichenau, to ask her about the joys of teaching first grade, how she encourages her students’ curiosity and wonder, and how she models lifelong learning in the classroom. I hope it’s a blessing to you.

With excellence,

Sarah Novlan, Director of Academics

Our 6th graders held a Latin version of the show "Shark Tank" by creating products and businesses to present to their teachers in "Hydra's Lair." Congratulations to all who participated and to the top three presenters: Joel C. (1st place), McKenzie M. (2nd place), and Elijah H. (3rd place).

Although we know them to be false, learning about the Roman gods and goddesses is essential to studying Latin. Their impact on pagan Rome and Christianity was extensive, and it was into this time, empire, culture, mythology, and language that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into our world. In the Gospel of Luke, God records the event for us beginning with the phrase: "in those days, Caesar Augustus issued a decree."

Though the power of Rome was evident even in Judaea, the power of Christ is greater - as demonstrated by His resurrection.

I recently heard a story about S. Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A, and other senior leaders in the organization that inspired me as we have been discussing the school’s growth. In the 1990s, Boston Market, which until 1995 was known as Boston Chicken, had become a serious competitor to Chick-fil-A. Boston Market was growing rapidly and setting ambitious goals, which included hitting a billion dollars in sales by the year 2000. As a result of Boston Market’s growth, Chick-fil-A leaders felt increasing pressure to figure out how to keep up with this competitor.

Chick-fil-A leaders began conversations about how to grow bigger and faster. These conversations culminated in a board meeting at Chick-fil-A headquarters, which, as a former Chick-fil-A Vice President recounted, involved senior leaders going back and forth around the table, asking and answering, “How do we get bigger, faster?” The former Vice President also recounted how Truett Cathy was very quiet during these tense conversations, even appearing disengaged from the meeting. Finally, Truett Cathy pounded his fist on the table until he had everyone’s attention. He spoke up, “Gentlemen, I am sick and tired of hearing you talk about us getting bigger. What we need to talk about is getting better. If we get better, our customers will demand that we get bigger.” This statement shifted the whole conversation, outlook, and strategy for the organization. Rather than focusing on getting bigger, they would focus on getting better and trust that by doing so, their customers would demand they get bigger. Time would show that Truett Cathy was exactly right. By focusing on getting better rather than getting bigger, excellence ensued, and growth resulted. In fact, by the year 2000, Boston Market had filed for bankruptcy, and Chick-fil-A had hit a billion dollars in sales.

“If we get better, our customers will demand that we get bigger.”

At the beginning of the year, I stated how we, as a school, would be developing what it means to partner together, grow together, and serve together...
