Principal's Quarterly Message
Greetings Hill Families!
Welcome to Quarter 2. Over the last three months, we’ve shared fond memories of Back-To-School Night, our first ever Art Carpet and Day Breaks, Lip Sync Battles, and Tiger Buck Mania. Moreover, we’ve spent the first nine weeks catching up from the effects of summer slide and learning a variety of new and important things on our way to becoming college and career ready. This was definitely a season of firsts. As we take a quick moment to reflect, we are proud of our students and teachers for bringing great energy and enthusiasm to all of these experiences. Now that we’ve all gotten a chance to get our feet wet and soak in what the new school year has to offer, it’s time readjust our focus and move with a greater sense of purpose and intent. I’ve enjoyed watching your children adjust to their new surroundings, discover new relationships with members of our faculty and their peers, and deepen previously established ones.
Speaking of relationships, please join me in welcoming our new Assistant Principal, Ms. Cherita Jones! She brings with her a diverse background that includes her former experience as a high school teacher and most recently a Dean of Students for Chesterfield County Public Schools. Her keen awareness of student development, knowledge of high school expectations and learner readiness, and her desire to serve in this rewarding capacity make her a welcomed addition to our remarkable team.
Along with Ms. Jones, we also have four new teachers on board to serve students in our highest need population. Please welcome Bryce Green, Cynthia Brown, Diana Prentiss, and Sonya Thompson-Davis to the Hill! With so much to celebrate, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the tremendous blessing it has been to have Dr. Braxton serve our school community. She has done so with great dignity and with the highest ethos of care. She will be a tremendous loss for us, but we are forever grateful for her service to our students.
Now with a nearly complete team, we can most certainly get down to the business of improving student climate and moving our scores in a positive direction. I could not be more fortunate to have this tremendous team working tirelessly on behalf of the students of Hill.
Here’s to a great second quarter!
Best,
Shante’

Girls Basketball: Albert Hill vs. MLK
Last Thursday afternoon, November 6, the girl's basketball team played their final home game of the season against Martin Luther King Middle School. It was a hard fought but ultimately tough one point loss at 27-26. A big thanks to Mr. Lovett and Newkirk for their support of the team as well as Mr. Ellegood coaching these ladies this year. Below are a few photos of the game courtesy of Mr. Bob Brown, grandfather of one of the members of the team.
This last image is actually from the previous game between Hill and MLK on October 21st but to quote Mr. Brown, "I think it shows the intensity of the rivalry between these two schools."

Learning about the Age of Exploration
Students in Ms. Lingle's sixth grade U.S. History I classes have been learning about the Age of Exploration recently. (SOL US.I4a) To reinforce what they've been learning, she found a board game that her classes played on Tuesday. In groups of five, each student took on the role of an explorer (Francisco Coronado, Robert de La Salle, Samuel de Champlain, King Henry the Navigator, and John Cabot) and facing the same types of challenges attempted to reach their destination first. Ms. Lingle said her students really enjoyed playing it and it gave them a much better sense of what these explorers faced as they set off to explore the New World.
A downloadable PDF of the board game can be found here. This nifty poster also provides some additional information on what it was like to be a sailor on board a ship during this time period.
