Mrs. Timbra Hilton

Mission:

I am excited to be your social studies teacher.  I have been teaching at St. Joseph Middle School since 2006, so this year is my 21st year teaching! I always knew I wanted to be teacher but it wasn't until college when I realized I wanted to inspire the young minds of middle schoolers and show them just how interesting social studies can be.   I have a passion for teaching about our nation's past, present, and future.
