Mt. Bethel Christian Academy is proud to welcome Jill Hunt as the school’s new Head of Lower School. Ms. Hunt comes to MBCA from Lipscomb Academy, a 2-year-old through 12th grade school in Nashville, Tennessee, where she has been serving as the Head of Lower School. She brings 16 years of experience in education, including 11 years in leadership roles where she has guided schools to the highest distinctions in achievement, growth, and culture.
Ms. Hunt has served as assistant principal and principal in the Williamson and Hickman County public school systems and has taught kindergarten and first grade. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Studies & Education and a Master’s in Education Administration.
A passionate and student-centered leader, Ms. Hunt makes all decisions with one priority in mind: what is best for students. “I believe school should be a joyful and safe place where children are challenged to meet their limitless potential,” she shares. “It should be a place where academic excellence and spiritual growth go hand-in-hand.”
She has expressed her desire to serve and inspire, seeking to make school “a child’s happy place” where they grow academically and are “equipped to understand Biblical principles,” where “staff members feel valued…and make a meaningful impact on the world.” Jill has been seeking a “both-and” school—one fully committed to both academic excellence and spiritual development—and she is thrilled to have found that at MBCA.
Jill is a mother of three, two of whom will attend MBCA in the fall, with a future Eagle joining in a year. She lives by the Golden Rule: “Treat people the way you want to be treated,” a principle that deeply shapes her leadership style and relationships within the school community.
