Mr. Harvey has proudly served at Hunter Elementary as both a Second and Third Grade teacher. He was wooed away from suburban WCPSS schools by the exciting things happening at Hunter and the way learning comes alive through the magnet curriculum. Having a background in History, he delights in teaching electives such as "Getting Wrapped Up in Mummies" where Cornish hens are mummified, "Destiny Travel" where students are submerged in the cultures of various countries around the world (many of which Mr. Harvey has first-hand experience), and "Cradle of Civilizations." 

Mr. Harvey integrates technology at every turn encouraging his students to tweet (#HarveysHeroes), and Skype, as well as create powerful presentations using various computer programs/apps. #DigitalPortfolios. He has the highest expectations for all of his students and empowers his students to own their learning through Project Based Learning assignments, leadership experiences, and by adjusting the content of lessons to meet the interests and needs of his students. In addition, he welcomes any community stakeholders into his classroom if it will make the content more exciting or create a one-of-a-kind experience for his students. 

When Mr. Harvey is not at Hunter GT / AIG Magnet Elementary he can be found strolling his infant daughter Eleanor (and perhaps Frenchie named Ginny) around DtR with his wife Melissa or riding his bicycle probably with the latest Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling) novel under his arm.  Just maybe, he's seizing the day at Yellow Dog Bakery or The Morning Times. It should be known that Mr. Harvey is also an anglophile and welcomes conversations about all things British (he not-so-secretly hopes that Eleanor will have a British accent).

Mrs. Hord comes to Hunter from Syracuse, New York. She currently teaches third grade Math, Science & Social Studies. She has been an educator for several years and enjoys learning from her students each year. She has known she would be a teacher since she was in early elementary school. Here at Hunter, she loves the wide range of opportunities offered to students. Her favorite elective is “Blooming Botany” because she loves to help things grow. Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with both her husband and daughter as well as extended family and friends. In her free time, she loves spending days by the lake relaxing with a good book, taking pictures, and gardening.
