Hill School 1984 –
Hunt came to Middleburg from New York City in 1984 to teach for a few years, and he has stayed for 32 years (and counting). He loves working at Hill because of the school’s commitment to building a strong community of learners, helping students unlock worlds of reading, and discovering that they have a lot to say and significant topics to explore as writers. Hunt graduated from Yale Phi Beta Kappa in 1983, and he earned a Master’s Degree from Wesleyan in 1992 and Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 2004. He has chaired high school English departments, taught Advanced Placement courses, graded AP exams, taught at the University of Virginia, directed the Central Virginia Writing Project, written frequently for publication, and presented at schools across the country. Each summer, he teaches at the New Teacher Institute for the Virginia Association of Independent Schools. Hunt and his wife Sue have a son, Christian (Hill class of 2015) and an overweight Jack Russell. He enjoys distance running, kayaking, hiking, playing guitar, and performing in local theater productions.
