Narissa Hill
Grade 4 (Upper Elementary)
Narissa was born and raised in Nashua, NH and grew up exploring New England’s great outdoors. Some of her favorite locales include the Flume Gorge, Lost River Gorge and Caves, Loon Mountain, and Acadia National Park. During her elementary school years, her love of the outdoors translated to her time spent at SNA’s very own Camp Lovewell each summer, so Narissa is especially thrilled to be able to revisit the campus and trails with a new generation of SNA children. During her years at college, she was heavily involved with the University of Scranton’s theatre company, where she directed and choreographed two musicals. Her lifelong love for nature science, music, and theatre are passions that converge in her approach to teaching and she cannot wait to get her class moving and learning all year long.
