Mrs. Paula Hoover
I’m Paula Hoover, the music teacher at Hillcrest PDS. It has been my honor to be at HPDS since the school opened in 1993. This school year marks my 40th year of teaching. I am a native of the great state of Missouri, where I earned my music education degree at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri. I’ve been married for 37 years to my husband Carl. We have three daughters, who are proud Hillcrest PDS, Tennyson Middle School and Waco High alums. Our oldest, Hallie, is a childcare provider, Helen is an ICU/ER doctor in Chicago and Harper, a recent graduate of Washington University in St. Louis. Three cats, Haiku, Half-Pint and Finn complete our family. When not teaching or leading children’s choir at my church, I enjoy reading, watching movies, attending musical theater performances and spending time with my family. I have fond memories of a childhood filled with learning and making music at home, school and church and strive to help each of my students experience musical joy as they find their unique melody to share in our world!
