I think of the times when one of the faculty explained something in a manner that profoundly changed the way I have thought since, or maybe the way one of the faculty made me laugh in class, or got me really interested in a subject. For all of that I am truly grateful. The Hotchkiss faculty is distinguished by many of the same characteristics which define the student body. Decency, integrity, and good will are valued.
Hotchkiss teachers are curious.
They are eager to learn more and excited by the prospect of sharing their love of learning with their students. They are dedicated to working with students in the dormitories, on the athletic fields, and in extracurricular activities, as well as in the classroom. In short, Hotchkiss teachers are committed to the all-encompassing nature of boarding school life. Following a long line of distinguished predecessors, Robert H. Mattoon Jr. was appointed headmaster in 1996. Mr. Mattoon leads a faculty of over 100 women and men, a great many of whom hold advanced degrees in their field.
