Hi Level Grove Families,
My name is Bruce Hilliard. This is my 19th year in education and I am excited to be a part of your child’s journey through learning at Level Grove Elementary School.
I was born and raised in Adel, GA in south Georgia and attended Kindergarten through 12th Grades in the Cook County School System. I graduated in 1980.
After 20+ years working in our family-run businesses, I began my teaching certification in Early Childhood Education in 2001 at Valdosta State University graduating in December 2005. I completed Masters and Education Specialists degrees in 2009 and 2011 through Mercer University. I taught for 12 years in Henry County and my 20-year-old son and I moved to Helen, GA with our dog, Beau, in July 2018.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child or their IEP Program, feel free to contact me at
I look forward to serving alongside the wonderful faculty and staff at Level Grove to help your child progress through this life-long learning journey during their elementary school years.
