David Hill
I was born and raised in Vincennes. I attended school in the Vincennes Community School Corporation, moved on to Vincennes University and graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Secondary Mathematics Education. Currently completing my 37th year in education and I work as an administrator in the VCSC corporation office. I’m married to Traci Hill and we have two children Drew (wife Whitney) and Ali, along with three wonderful grandchildren. My hobbies include playing golf, watching sports, and spoiling my grandkids.
I became a UW board member after witnessing the partnership of UWKC and the VCSC. During my tenure, as an educator, I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of students who were directly influenced by UWKC. Once I became a member of the board my eyes were open to the vast number of agencies that UW supports in Knox County. Knowing that we are making a huge difference is a very rewarding feeling.
The Education committee is pleased to offer this programming with the assistance of Building Blocks to build a stronger connection between our Knox County Pre-schools and Daycares with our local public Kindergarten programs.
