LaTonya Hill

LaTonya Hill is the Director of Family and Community Engagement for the University of Chicago Charter School.  She works closely with Todd Barnett to support the Family Teacher Community Organization (FTCO) and engage families across all four UChicago Charter campuses. Hill also supports the coordination of parent volunteers at the campuses, leads new efforts to enhance student retention, and establishes new partnerships with community-based organizations to expand resources for parents.

Hill has been a UChicago Charter Donoghue parent since 2005 and was named Family Support Counselor at Donoghue in 2009. As Family Support Counselor, Hill served as a liaison between the school and the most at risk students and their families. She facilitated academic and social support meetings, in which parents collectively brainstormed ways to support students who were struggling academically. She also worked on the Birth-to-College Initiative, communicating with families whose children were transitioning from childhood support centers into UChicago Charter.
