2019-2020 HAMILTON COUNTY bible history teachers

HAMILTON COUNTY SCHOOLS

This academic year, Bible in the Schools has fully funded 24 Bible History teachers, which includes the Hamilton County Schools' Bible History Program Coordinator, Dr. Matthew Johnson. These 24 educators (50% of whom hold an advanced degree in a Bible-related discipline) are strongly credentialed and collectively hold 60 degrees. Generous community partners made it possible to begin a new Bible History Program at Orchard Knob Middle School in August of 2019. In addition, Red Bank Middle School increased its Bible History program from part-time to full-time. We are proud and thankful for each of these fine educators and we invite you to email any of them an encouraging note care of info@bibleintheschools.com. Consider giving a gift in honor of a teacher here, and they will be informed of your kindness.

If you would like to be considered as a candidate for a Bible History teaching position, please email Dr. Matthew Johnson at: johnson_matthew@hcde.org.
