Plainview Classical Academy Teacher Emilee Hill
This week, we sat down with Emilee Hill, who teaches physical education at Plainview Classical Academy.
Tell Us About Yourself
I am from Plainview, Texas, and graduated from Plainview Classical Academy, formerly Plainview Christian Academy. I joined ResponsiveEd in 2023 and serve as the elementary physical education aide at Plainview Classical Academy.
What inspired you to become an educator?
Several family members work in education, so I was drawn to the field because of their example. Most recently, I have received a lot of encouragement from my fellow teachers and have discovered my passion for helping others through teaching.
What are some things that your students have taught you?
My students have taught me how important it is to make learning fun and engaging. Each day, they challenge me to get creative and find new and innovative ways to keep them active and excited about learning.
What are you most proud of about your time with Plainview Classical Academy?
I am most proud of helping rebuild the athletics program at my campus. As a former student-athlete, I am grateful to play a role in that part of students’ lives. Getting to help athletes learn and improve their skills in a sport has been so much fun, and I am so proud of them.
What do you like most about being an educator for your campus?
My favorite thing about my campus is the classical curriculum I get to teach. It is so rewarding to work alongside educators who share the same values and virtues and who work to instill them in their students.
