Departing faculty

The spring term is ending, and with it we say goodbye to some beloved faculty members who are moving on to new adventures.

Mr. Jeff Hollway

The Hollways are moving to the Kent Denver School in Denver, Colorado next year where Hill’s Associate Director of Athletics and Co-Curricular Activities Jeff Hollway will become the Director of Athletics. The family looks forward to the mountains and culture of Denver. 

“We were fortunate to have such quality people involved in our lives,” Hollway said. “It will be difficult to find a more caring and dedicated community in which to work and live.”

 

Mr. Michael Webster

Instructor of Mathematics Michael Webster has accepted a mathematics teaching position at the Santiago Christian School, a K-12 private day school in the Dominican Republic. Webster looks forward to the family and people-centered culture of the Dominican Republic. He also looks forward to the weather, learning Spanish, and living in a different country. 

“It’s the people and relationships that will be missed,” Webster said. “I will miss the students I won’t get to see graduate next year, and the conversations with students and colleagues in the dining hall.”

 

Mr. William Enos

“After 42 years of teaching high school math, it’s finally time for me to graduate. I am retiring,” Instructor of Mathematics William Enos said. 

Although he expects to be doing something, Enos does not currently have plans for the future. “I am mostly looking forward to having no place to go and all day to get there,” Enos said. “I do hope to spend time with my grandchildren as soon as it is safe again for us all to get together.” 

Enos, who has grown to love and admire so many of his fellow colleagues in his time here, will miss the enthusiasm and energy on campus. 

 

Dr. Nicholas Riegel

Dr. John W. Riegel Chair of Religious Studies Nicholas Reigel is also not sure of what he will be doing after Hill. But as always, he is looking forward to learning new things. 

“Shout out to B period,” Reigel said, “for those very loud, funny, and spirited debates. To A period for those fantastic, college-level philosophy discussions. To G period for our great mixture of humor and good philosophy. And shout out to my seniors for those amazing poetry discussions and our sea voyage this spring!”

 

Mr. Andrew Skitko

After over 40 years in education and video production, Chair of the Arts Department Andrew Skitko will be easing into retirement. But don’t worry! He’ll still be around to work on occasional video projects on campus. Skitko looks forward to working on things outside of Hill’s busy schedule, like woodworking and freelance video engineering projects. 

“I will miss using the new TV facility that I’m currently designing for the Quadrivium,” Skitko said. “And I’ll miss working with students, my advisees, and colleagues.”

 

Mr. Adam Salo

Instructor of English Adam Salo and his family are excited to move to the Westtown School in West Chester, Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1997. Salo looks forward to teaching a creative writing term course and retooling his journalism class for a term course there. He will deeply miss his students and colleagues. 

“Much has been given to you, and much is expected,” Salo said to the students of Hill. “You have the ability and the opportunity to change the world for the better. Now, what are you going to do with those gifts?”

 

Mr. Len Miller

Next year, Associate Headmaster Len Miller will serve as the head of school at Saint Mary’s Hall in San Antonio, Texas, a K-12 independent day school. Miller is very excited about the opportunity to serve as head of school and for the Texas atmosphere. The openness of the people, their diversity of background, and interest in new ideas are what truly struck him about Saint Mary’s Hall. 

“I’ll miss the incredible people at Hill most of all,” said Miller. “My parting words are really simple: a heartfelt thanks!”

As new students and faculty arrive at Hill, we are sad to see some leave. Even though we’ll miss them, we thank the departing faculty for their time here, and wish them good luck on their next endeavors!
