After graduation, Mr. Hilton moved to Philadelphia to take a job with a non-profit organizing after school activities for children in the 1st through 8th grades. Mr. Hilton loves Philadelphia, so much so that he became a Phillies and an Eagles fan. Though he isn’t into hockey and basketball that much, he’ll watch the Sixers and the Flyers if they make it into the playoffs!
In 2002, Mr. Hilton was accepted into graduate school. He completed a dual master’s degree in Religion, Philosophy, and Education between the schools of Princeton University, and Princeton Theological Seminary. The three years at Princeton were very grueling and Mr. Hilton understands what it is like to stay up late into the night finishing homework! Check out Mr. Hilton with the New Jersey Commissioner of Education.
Mr. Hilton and his family - Jenna, Evan, and their Standard Poodle, Calvin - moved to Truckee in the summer of 2005. They live in Glenshire and love hiking and biking in the area. Mr. Hilton is making is learning how to snowboard - and he always wears a helmet!
While Mr. Hilton has taught elementary school in New Jersey, he has loved teaching middle school kids. He has taught every subject in the school - besides band and P.E., and has also taught in the 7th AND 8th grades!!
Mr. Hilton is always up for a good hike, geocaching, or watching an Eagles or Phillies game. You’re always welcome to stop by and say hello!
