Kizzi Danh

Kizzi (Barton) Danh has been teaching math at Hanger Hall since November of 2009. Kizzi thinks that math is extremely fun and useful and she absolutely loves teaching girls how to be successful math students.  She loves to create connections between what students are learning from the textbook and what is happening in the “real word”.  Girls are encouraged to sharpen the tools in their math tool belt so that they are well prepared to approach various problems in life with confidence.

Kizzi grew up in a small ski town in Vermont; in a house built by her ancestors in 1789. She always knew that she was interested in education, so she chose to attend Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. Kizzi focused her studies on public health and science education, but upon graduating decided that she needed a few adventures before she began her career as a teacher. The first adventure led Kizzi to Chicago for several years where she managed restaurants and coordinated corporate hospitality at major sporting events.  Her next adventure was a return to her hometown where she taught math and science for 3 years at a private ski and snowboard academy.  After 28 years of living in the North, it was time for a southern adventure, and luckily, Kizzi found her way to Asheville. She and her husband, Andy, fell in love with Asheville, and were married here in the spring of 2011. They welcomed their daughter Cora in 2013 and she is looking forward to becoming a Hanger Hall girl in a few years.

Kizzi has developed a solid math curriculum that effectively addresses the varying needs of all students.  In addition to addressing the Common Core standards, Kizzi teaches students about organization, problem solving, note taking, and preparing for tests and quizzes.  Kizzi loves to use fun tricks to remember things in math, so you will often hear singing or see beautiful art work coming from the math room.

In 6th grade math, the focus is on solidifying arithmetic foundations and skills.  The 7th grade curriculum delves into pre-algebra with some really fun units on geometry and trigonometry.  All students in the 8th grade take Math I; at the end of the year Kizzi gives individual recommendations for high school math.  For students who like additional challenges, Hanger Hall competes in the state high school mathematics competition for Math I.  The math team meets with Kizzi throughout the year to prepare for this springtime competition held at Western Carolina University.

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.
