I Am Building Woodward Academy // Staff Profile // Jeremy Hilbert

Jeremy started at Woodward Academy in 2005 and was quickly promoted to the position of Group Leader, handling the day-to-day operations of a dorm. But in 2007, life took Jeremy away from campus as he and his wife moved south to Savannah, Georgia. While she was pursing her graduate degree, he was beginning his career in education, teaching 7th grade Social Studies at Shuman Middle School, an inner city school in Savannah.

Upon their return to Iowa in 2009, Jeremy returned to his position as Group Leader at Woodward Academy as he finalized the paperwork for his Iowa teaching license. While he continued to teach Social Studies, he also adopted more roles in the education department in his position as Lead Teacher.

Jeremy is currently completing coursework at Drake University in the Education Leadership program and has been promoted to Education Director at Woodward Academy. He has already proven to be a competent leader in educational services and is a proponent of the Iowa Core Curriculum and Standards-Based Grading.

Besides being a Knight, Jeremy spends his time as a connoisseur of music. He deejay’s in his spare time and performs live under the name Pink Kodiak. He’s been married for 7 years and together they have an 18 month old son.
