  • Will my child be taught by a Virginia-Highland teacher?

    Posted by:

    Teachers may be a mix of internal and external candidates.  There is no guarantee that your child will have a teacher who works specifically at Hope Hill, Mary Lin, Morningside, SPARK or VHE.  All teachers will be certified to teach at the elementary level.  Similar to a regular school year, teachers will have support from our instructional coaches as well as support from instructional paraprofessionals.
