Hallie Mitchell
Lower School Latin
Mrs. Mitchell graduated from the University of Central Florida with a B.A. Degree in Communications and minor in Hospitality Management. She worked as a Human Resources Manager in the tourism industry before having children. Her children inspired her love of photography and she has owned her own photography business since 2010. The Mitchell family has been a part of the St. John’s Academy family since 2006 when their son, Sam started in Pre Kindergarten. And in 2009, when their daughter, Kenna started at the Academy, she took on the role of Yearbook Administrator. With a background in photography, she also became the school photographer, taking the individual student and faculty photos as well as SJA event photos.
When her oldest left for college in the fall of 2020, Mrs. Mitchell felt led to be more involved in the classroom at St. John’s Academy. She was an aide for the next 3 years in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. In 2023, Mrs. Mitchell became the Lower school Latin teacher, after God specifically spoke this new path to her. 1 Peter 4:10 – “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
When she is not teaching Latin, you may see Mrs. Mitchell around town with her camera in hand. Together with her husband, James, they enjoy traveling to watch their son Sam play soccer for Saint Leo University with their 2 furry sisters- Hazel Mae and Millie Fae. And, they are also so blessed to have their daughter Kenna close by at the University of North Florida to visit frequently.
