My name is Kristy Luxton, and I am excited to return to administration as the Academic Dean at Hillside.  I am looking forward to getting to know the students and families I will be serving. I have spent the last 6+ years teaching first and third grade at Little River Elementary. I have been an educator for over 19 years.  I have taught in Connecticut and Virginia in K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade levels.  Additionally, I served as an assistant principal in Loudoun County before taking time off to be home with my children.  I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees in Elementary Education at the University of Connecticut.  Additionally, I earned an Education Specialist degree from the University of Virginia in Administration and Supervision.
