Dear Parents or Guardian/s,

My educational philosophy and ambitions are rooted in the belief that teachers are incredibly influential. They influence by imparting knowledge within and across disciplines, and by daily sharing their lives as fellow-learners, friends, mentors, and, occasionally, benevolent disciplinarians. Therefore, a teacher is to be a role-model that fosters the love of learning and the enthusiasm for life through strong, consistent, and practical teaching methods in and outside the classroom.   However, collaboration from all participants (i.e., teacher, student, parent/s, and administration) is necessary to ensure a culture of learning.  Every participant adds value, support, and accountability to encourage and monitor social and academic progress.  Specifically, the teacher's facilitation of classroom learning is complemented by students' participation, behavioral management, and academic endeavor.  When these variables are combined with the students’ unique cultural/personal backgrounds and individual talents and intelligences, then academic excellence and social competence are daily achievements.  The final objective of any Alma Mater is to foster life-long learners and conscientiously optimistic citizens.  Therefore, the purpose of education is to teach us more about each other and, ultimately, the world within which one lives.  As a result, teaching is a profession with much responsibility and much edification.

I am sincerely excited to advise/teach your child. I consider it an honor to be placed as an advocate and mentor for your child while at Canyon High School

Sincerely, 

Kenneth M. Hill, M. Ed.
