Rachel Kisko

Rachel Kisko is a native to Raleigh, NC and has enjoyed living in the beautiful Oak City ever since she was born. She is one of three sisters, one of which is her twin. She was homeschooled for 10 years before attending college at East Carolina University (Go Pirates!). Rachel graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Special Education, General Curriculum. She has been teaching since Fall of 2018 and is an NC licensed teacher in Special Education K-12, General Education K-6, and Reading.

Not long after beginning her teaching career, she met her now husband of almost 2 years, Brian Kisko. They met at the Young Professionals ministry at the church they regularly attend. They have been incredibly blessed by the Lord’s faithfulness and goodness through the mentorship, friendship, and community of this ministry.

Rachel is so excited to be moving into a new teaching environment and utilize her teaching and homeschool background. She is so thankful to have followed the Lord’s calling to work at HLA this school year. Her passion to not only build in her students a love of learning, but to also be a small part of raising up strong, faithful, and godly leaders in their generation is what she is looking forward to most. Rachel is so thankful and honored for the opportunity to partner with students and families in furthering the gospel in this way.
