Hilary Huse
In one sense,
Hilary Huse, Grade 2
Hilary Huse is local, having grown up in Falls Church, received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Virginia, and having earned a Master of Arts degree from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. In another way, Ms. Huse has been anything but local. As the daughter of a father in the Foreign Service, she has spent time in places as diverse as the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Korea, Barbados, and Haiti.
Beginning in high school, Ms. Huse began teaching in summer camp programs and as part of an experiential learning program involving elementary school children in Fairfax County. She has subsequently taught a variety of elementary grades over the course of the fourteen years that she spent at Burgundy Farm School in Alexandria, where she enjoyed team teaching as much as she loved interacting with the students. After taking some time off from teaching to be with her son Cooper and her daughter Maggie during their earliest years, Ms. Huse has returned to her teaching career by joining the faculty of Green Hedges and teaming with Pam Lucas in Grade 2.
Ms. Huse met her husband, Todd, through their mutual involvement in the Elden Street Theater. They both still enjoy their community theater life, juggling schedules in order to be home with children and at the performance venue.
