Michael Hunt’s work in education is centered around a strong belief that all children deserve access to dreaming, designing, and critical thinking through high-quality instruction, academic conversations, and collaborative relationships. Michael is originally from northern Virginia, where he grew up. He later received his M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction, focusing on Elementary Education PK-6 from George Mason University. Over the last ten years, he has taught 3rd and 4th-grade GT self-contained, 5th-grade Math/Social Studies, and 5th-grade Reading/Social Studies at Horn. Outside the classroom, Michael has been an Instructional Specialist focusing on mathematics and literacy curriculum and has presented at various district, state, and national-level conferences on literacy and mathematics curriculum. In 2022, he was a finalist for the H-E-B Excellence in Education Award.

When Michael is not working with Horn's students, staff, and administrators, he leads the annual Horn 5th-grade summer trip. Furthermore, he advises the 5th-grade National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS). Through NEHS, students develop their scholarship, responsibility, service, and leadership through various community service projects.

Michael leads our student intervention program and handles teacher and parent evaluation requests. He is also our District and State Testing Coordinator, as well as our Gifted and Talented Coordinator. This year, he will serve as our second assistant principal.
