Meet Brenda Hagen, Head of Lower School

Brenda Hagen has been on the HCES faculty since 2000 and is in her 20th year as the Head of Lower School. She holds a B.A. in Elementary Education, a M.Ed. in Reading Education, and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership. All three degrees are from Florida State University. She started her career by teaching in Orlando and continued when she moved permanently to Tallahassee. After she and her husband, Chip, had children, they decided to find a school home with a reputation of being focused on Christian principles and high academics.

Holy Comforter School was the perfect fit for her family. She decided to join her children at HC and began teaching on the Miccosukee Road campus the same year. When the Head of Lower School position needed to be filled in 2005, she transitioned into administration. Fostering a love for learning and helping children navigate the elementary years is her true passion.
