Hannah Russell Hunter

I was born and raised in Arlington and attended Drew, Gunston, and W-L. I then majored in American Studies and Studio Art at UVA, where I also got my Master of Teaching in Secondary Social Studies Education. I actually wrote my undergraduate thesis on narratives of local history in Arlington County from the post WWII era to the present! I taught Civics and Economics for two years in Alexandria before returning to APS. Outside of teaching I love to paint, draw, and sew.

Howdy! I grew up in Austin, Texas as the middle child of three kids. I graduated from Texas Tech University (WRECK' EM TECH) in May 2024 with my Degree in Education with a concentration in mid-level social studies. Outside of teaching I love to read, try new recipes in the kitchen, play with my dogs, and hangout with my family. I am so excited to be your teacher this year!

I am excited to be back for another great year at Dorothy Hamm Middle School! I earned my Bachelor of Education from The Pennsylvania State University (WE ARE!) as well as a minor in Special Education. I also earned my Master of Education from George Mason University with a focus in curriculum and instruction. I love working with my students to develop important skills, look at the past and present from various perspectives, and express how important each of us are in making a difference in our community and world. I enjoy completing DIY projects, spending time with family and friends, and singing.

I grew up in Arlington and I'm a proud graduate of Yorktown High School and the University of Mary Washington. This is my first year at DHMS but my 17th year teaching middle school social studies for APS. When I am not teaching, I spend all my free time driving around Arlington as a swim mom, lacrosse mom, and field hockey mom.

I grew up in New Jersey and am the oldest of four. I went to Bucknell University in PA and George Washington University in Washington, DC. I am married and live in Arlington. My three children are all over the place this year. Will – working for a trade association in Alexandria, Abby – Senior at Christopher Newport University near Virginia Beach, and Jonah – Freshman at the University of South Carolina. In my free time, I like to read, walk, and hang out with my family. This will be my 30th year in public education!

I have been teaching in Arlington since 2004, but spent the first few decades going from elementary school, through high school, college, and graduate school at Penn State. Teaching World Geography, here at DHMS since 2022, is very fitting as I find the ability to travel the world to be one of the greatest gifts I have. That, and my two children, a 2025 and 2031 graduate here in Arlington.
