MEET THE TEAM

 

At MHA, our learning culture is grounded in the strength of our local Huntsville community and enriched by ideas from a global network. We draw on the wisdom of trusted advisors, mentors, and leaders—locally and globally—to bring fresh perspectives and meaningful resources to our educators and families.

We believe that for children to truly thrive, learn, and grow, the adults around them need that same opportunity. When educators and families are supported, inspired, and learning too—everyone benefits. Both feed off each other.

Because we are not alone in this world, much

of our learning about ourselves comes from

our interaction with others. Our relationships

are our teachers. We learn from each other.”
