Dwight Gingerich

DWIGHT is known to the Hillcrest community for his unfortunate Cardinals fandom, his fantastic basketball coaching career, and his long tenure as Hillcrest Academy teacher then guidance counselor and athletic director turned principal. But this narrative misses one key ingredient: Dwight is also a wood worker and knows how to use a lathe. Who knew?! A hard-working, strong communicator, Dwight leads by listening and building relationships with students and staff–often through stories and humor. He sees God’s love every day through the smiles of those he meets and nature on his commute. He cares so much about the school that he’s often on the move. We hope one day the Internet and data will break down so he can have a relaxing day at the beach.
