Heather Hanks
Hi! My name is Heather Hanks, and I am the Elementary Art Teacher at Calvary for preschool to 6th grade students. I absolutely love teaching Art at Calvary. Coming here has been one of the biggest blessings for my family since moving from Missouri to Louisiana. My husband, James, is so supportive of my daughter and me. He prays for and encourages us, but he also pastors a church in town and works at a hospital. We have one daughter, Holly, who is now a freshman at Calvary and a softball catcher...

Honestly, ever since I was a little girl, I have loved art. I remember carrying around a pad of paper and pencil, drawing every chance I got. But my life totally changed when I was 13 and gave myself to Jesus. As I grew up, I knew God had called me to use every ability for Him. He led me to pursue degrees in Art, Missions and French.
I love teaching students who have a love for art like I did when I was little. But I also really enjoy the challenge of helping students who either think they are bad at art or who have never really enjoyed it. There is normally one project that gets them excited, that makes them smile. I love that. It is also my goal to not only teach them about Art, but to help them know the One who made them. This year our verse is, “You are God’s masterpiece.” Ephesians 2:10. We are not the artwork that He is frustrated with and throws away, we are His treasure, and are worth so much to Him.
Your students are a treasure. Thank you for allowing me the honor of teaching them at Calvary.
With love,
Mrs. Heather
