Meet Mrs. Sarah Hawk – Kindergarten Teacher

We are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Hawk to Mercy Prep as a Kindergarten teacher! She brings a heart for early childhood education, a passion for students, and a desire to help children grow academically, socially, and spiritually in a Christ-centered environment.

🎓 Education & Experience
Mrs. Hawk is a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University (Axe ’em Jacks!) and holds EC–6 and ESL certifications. She has 8 years of experience in public education, teaching both Kindergarten and First Grade, and is excited to begin her first year at Mercy Prep.

💜 Why Education?
Mrs. Hawk was inspired by her own elementary teachers and dreamed from a young age of becoming the kind of teacher who could impact students the way hers impacted her. She says she is truly “living the dream” as an educator.

🙏 Faith & Teaching
Her favorite verse is Isaiah 41:10, a reminder of God’s presence and strength. Mrs. Hawk views teaching as a mission field, believing that every child is placed in her classroom by God for a purpose. She strives to plant seeds of faith while leading with grace, patience, and love.
She and her family attend Pathway Baptist Church, where she serves in Children’s Ministry on Wednesday nights and helps with Moms Connect, a women’s ministry event planning team.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Faith & Family
Mrs. Hawk and her husband, Andrew, have two daughters, Lyla and Lily, and a playful “not-so-vicious” guard dog named Cooper. Their family enjoys Saturday mornings in Downtown Waxahachie and making memories together.

🎨 Fun Facts
She loves watercolor painting, baking cookies, and staying active
She has an undefeated boxing record
If she had a superpower, she’d be Elasti-Girl from The Incredibles
Dream travel destination: Europe

🏫 Why Mercy Prep?
Mrs. Hawk is excited to join a school that balances academic excellence with allowing kids to be kids. She is grateful for the opportunity to continue her calling in a Christ-centered environment.
