GLOBAL School Searches is pleased to announce the appointment of Joscelyn Hill as Middle School Principal at Haven of Peace Academy (HOPAC) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Mrs. Hill brings seventeen years in Tanzania, including seven at HOPAC as a Middle and Senior School English teacher, where she has developed the school's IGCSE Literature curriculum and built a reputation as a trusted, informal leader among students, staff, and parents alike.  Before joining HOPAC, Mrs. Hill spent fifteen years with Pioneer Bible Translators as a Literacy Consultant, developing mother-tongue literacy curricula and training literacy workers and teachers across language projects, alongside earlier classroom experience in Texas public schools. At HOPAC, her impact has extended well beyond the classroom: she has coached the World Scholar's Cup program, sponsored TEDx Youth, led mentor groups, served on the Child Safety Team, and led professional development for faculty, work that earned her a peer-nominated Teacher of the Year honor. She holds a BA in Bible, Missions, and Ministry from Abilene Christian University and postgraduate teacher certification from the University of Texas at Arlington. Mrs. Hill's approach to teaching is grounded in the conviction that every student carries the image of God within them, and that the classroom exists to equip them, in the fullest sense, to become their best selves. GLOBAL congratulates Mrs. Hill on this appointment and looks forward to the impact of her leadership at HOPAC.
