Don’t count the days. Make the days count!
Compass Hickory Hill offers a welcoming learning environment in a community setting where everyone is family. Every teacher knows every student’s name, and even the small things catch our attention. Don’t be surprised if a teacher notices you forgot your glasses, got a haircut, or are wearing new shoes! Our passion is the students we serve. We focus on providing excellent teaching, modeling strong moral character, and opportunities for growth to transform them into responsible students and leaders.
Our Team
Teachers who care
Compass Hickory Hill is a small school located in the heart of the Hickory Hill community. We pride ourselves on the fact that our best advertisement is “word of mouth” from our current families. Our families are very important to us because they trust us with the awesome responsibility of helping to educate their child. We believe that parents are the first educators of their children, and collaborating with parents is pivotal for students to meet their academic, social & emotional, and physical goals. Communication with our families is a priority with weekly updates through ‘Tuesday Notes,’ and the Monthly Mane newsletter published on the last Friday of each month. We also always encourage parents to communicate with their child’s teachers with any questions or concerns that they may have. The office staff and administration are always available to support our families.

Passion for Teaching
Compass teachers know their content backwards and forwards and are passionate about preparing Memphis youth academically and in character for college and lifelong success. Our teachers enjoy and benefit from our intentionally small school settings, which will help them to develop trusting, positive relationships with their students and colleagues.
Service Learning
In the Community
Service-learning projects provide students with opportunities to apply newly learned knowledge and skills in real-world contexts, further cementing their understanding and giving their academic learning relevant purposes. Service learning serves as the intersection of our academic excellence and values-based character education pillars—bringing content, concepts, and skills gleaned from both to life through hands-on, tangible experiences.
