Mr. Matthew Hill » Schick Staff Directory

Hello!

My name is Mr. Hill and I am excited to join the Loyalsock Township High School staff. In 2005, I received a bachelors degree in history from Susquehanna University, where I competed in both football and track and field. In 2011, after a few years in sales, I decided to return to Lycoming college for my teaching certificate. Last year I completed my masters degree in 21st Century Teaching and learning from Wilkes University.  I have spent the past five years at Warrior Run High School teaching U.S. History. In addition to this, I will be entering my fifth year as the head boys track coach here at Loyalsock.
