Who We Are

Suzy Hall

I am so excited to be part of the Silverdale Baptist Academy Family! I recently retired from the Hamilton County School system after 37 years as a teacher and librarian. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education, a Master of Education in Curriculum & Instruction, and a Library Science endorsement. I have taught at every grade level from first through eighth grade. God has indeed blessed my life with the opportunity to work with students to not only educate them, but mentor and disciple them as well. I know this year will be challenging, exciting, and a time of great spiritual growth! I am thrilled to be working with you!

I am excited to be a part of Silverdale Baptist Academy and looking forward to partnering with you as Co-Director of the NEST Learning Lab. I am a graduate of Furman University. I have been a teacher/coach for more than 30 years, primarily at the collegiate level. For the past eight years, I have been involved in educating and discipling students at the high school level. I have seen first-hand the benefits of an encouraging, caring, dedicated learning lab. I am excited to see how God is going to use the NEST to equip students to maximize their learning and support the outstanding faculty at SBA.
