Laura Hilger (CHAIR) - One of the founding members of Highland Academy, and a dedicated staff member until 2013, Laura Hilger has spent her entire career devoted to learning communities and systemic change in a variety of roles. Since 2016, she has been serving as a Director of Teaching and Learning for KnowledgeWorks, which is a non-profit that supports learning communities across the country. Her vision is to help equity and agency become a reality for each and every learner by activating personalized competency-based education systems across the country. She has served on the Highland board for many years as a way to continue to give to the Highland learning community as well as the Ê®·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê. She believes that education is the heartbeat of every community and that when we work together collectively, we can achieve our vision.

Meghan Cunningham - I’ve been a math teacher at Highland since 2009.  Before Highland, I taught in the Lake and Peninsula School District at Perryville School. I grew up in Nome, Alaska and have traveled all over the state- I love every part!  I attended UAA, earning my Bachelors in Mathematics and Masters in Teaching Mathematics.  The Anchorage community has my heart - a small, big city full of great people.  I choose to teach at Highland because I believe our advisory program, intensives in the community, problem-based projects and mastery learning system are the best ways for kids to learn and grow. Outside of school, I love to do yoga, bike, hike, ski, camp and travel with my husband, 2-year old daughter and dog.
