Hello and Welcome to our website!
I began my teaching career as a special education teacher in Northern Virginia teaching primary students. I then relocated to my home town in Pennsylvania where I taught high school students for one year. After moving to Arizona, I taught junior high for two years, before teaching high school for five years. During the 2008-2009 school year, I worked as the Dean of Students at Santan Elementary School. Since then, I have been the principal at Humphrey, and am in my 9th year! It is truly a pleasure to be the principal of both Chandler Traditional Academy and Elite Performance Academy!I received my B.S. in Education from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, and earned a Masters Degree from Northern Arizona University in Educational Leadership with an Administrative Certificate.When not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, who is a kindergarten teacher, and our two children, Mason and Mazie, both who attend school at Humphrey!I believe that to be successful, positive relationships and lines of communication must be built and maintained among students, parents, school staff and other members of the community.It is truly a pleasure to be the principal of both Chandler Traditional Academy and Elite Performance Academy, and I invite you to contact me so we can begin building relationships!Sincerely,Luke HickeyPrincipal
