Kyle Russell, a 2013 Hilton grad, was featured in the latest issue of NYSUT United Magazine where he writes about why he decided to become a teacher. He credits his Hilton High School science teachers, Jennifer Howell and Maria Vowles, for inspiring and motivating him to enter the field of teaching. Russell is now a middle school science teacher in the Perry Central School District. Before that, he taught in Alaska.
