In their free time, they work together on freelance web design/hosting projects for several clients.

Jill Sunday (Rhine) (Class of 1998)

After graduating high school and college, Jill worked for a few years before getting married and becoming a stay-at-home mom to her three boys, who are now 16, 18, and 20. All three of her boys are “lifers” at HCS, meaning they started in K and have graduated from HCS or will be soon. Jill has been working at HCS as the Admissions Coordinator for the past 10 years. She loves being able to share HCS, a school that impacted her so deeply, with families seeking Christian education for their children. Jill is so blessed by her involvement with HCS, her church, and service to God in tangible ways!

Curt Nunemaker (Class of 1992)

Curt thinks it's been wonderful to watch his middle school son grow over the past few years at HCS. As a 1992 graduate of the school, Curt has so many fond memories from his time there.

Being part of the soccer and track teams forged lasting friendships and skills that helped Curt become a better student/individual. He's grateful for the Christian foundation and personal growth he experienced at HCS, and having his son attend the school has been a wonderful experience that brings back so many cherished memories.
