My name is Ethan Gaynor, and I am in my second year as Secondary Principal at Hilltop Christian School, a K-12 private Christian school in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina. As secondary principal, I oversee the staff and students in grades 6-12. I have served at HCS for 12 years in total, as a high school teacher, student adviser, assistant principal, and now as secondary principal. I met my wife Hannah at Bible college, and we have now been married for 11 years. We have been blessed with 3 boys: Brinson (6), Cade (4), and Knox (1).
