Katie Langwell

Katie Langwell has been teaching at Hanger Hall since 2007 and thinks she has one of the best jobs in the world.  She teaches French and Drama at and directs the annual school play.

Katie grew up in Atlanta and went to University of Richmond, VA where she double-majored in French and Theatre.  After working for a non-profit theatre company in Richmond, freelancing as script supervisor in film production, and sneaking off to France whenever she could, she decided to hop a train and head to New York City.  While there Katie helped run a theatre company, worked for HBO, and performed in many plays.  She also directed, wrote and performed for an all women sketch comedy group.

For Katie the best thing about teaching at Hanger Hall is how much fun it can be.  Her French classes perform skits, sing songs, create magazines, go on strike, belt out the national anthem, taste new foods, tape weather reports, hold fashion shows, and watch movies…all in French!  There’s fun to be had with grammar and vocabulary as well.  She believes that the more fun her students have, the more they will learn.

In Drama Katie’s classes are great for unleashing energy.  Through games, skits and improvisation, Katie works with the girls on becoming more comfortable in front of group.  The girls all have a chance to “perform” in class every week and there is usually a lot of laughter.

Every year Katie directs a school play.  Everyone is invited to participate.  Rather than focusing on a show that may feature a particular actress, Katie tries to create shows where everyone has a chance to shine, and students are introduced to the idea of working together to create a fun evening of theater.

Hanger Hall COVID-19 Updates

Hanger Hall Health & Safety 

As a small school with small class sizes , we are confident in our capability to implement all health and safety recommendations to ensure a safe reopening, given the current guidance received from federal, state, and local levels of government.  Hanger Hall’s highest priority is the health and safety of our students, families, faculty and staff.

Our efforts to prepare for the upcoming school year is led by Hanger Hall’s leadership team under the guidance of a COVID-19 task force, comprised of Hanger Hall Staff, Board Members and Parent Volunteers who are in the Healthcare Field.  To support this priority, safety protocols will be in place for the 2020-21 school year.

This team is working over the summer to develop a variety of mitigation measures that will be implemented in classrooms, along with various contingency models so that Hanger Hall is prepared to support any COVID-!( related scenario within our school community.

Please visit this page regularly to receive additional communication related to school reopening that will be shared over the coming weeks.

One of the guiding principles in the development of Hanger Hall’s plan has always been to closely adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines for the reopening of schools as well as public health guidance issued by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. You can find these health and safety protocols in our handbook and updates will be made here.
