Ms. Hiko Eilertson
Assistant Director of Residence Life (Girls’ Dorm)
Born in Okinawa, Japan, Hiko Eilertson came to know Jesus when she was in Kindergarten, thanks to a Sunday School teacher who taught English class on Saturday afternoon. Hiko grew to love the language when she was nine years old and kept learning, going to college to study English/Business in Tokyo. Ms. Eilertson has a deep passion for serving the Lord, playing and coaching the sport of tennis, and spending time with her son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren in West
Virginia.
Ms. Eilertson comes to Tennessee from Dallas, Texas (where she has been for the past thirty-plus years), where she works with multiple businesses, and BuddyUp Tennis (a Tennis clinic organization for those with Downs Syndrome) and is involved with Bible Study Fellowship. Hiko is a volunteer for Mission Maasai, where she recently served with TKA teachers in Empukani, Kenya. TKA is excited to announce the addition of Hiko Eilertson as she brings a deep-rooted passion for the gospel, students, discipleship, and the ability to offer Japanese as a foreign language for our academic offerings.
Any high school student who is interested in enrolling in Japanese 1 for their foreign language credit should email Mrs. Hatmaker (jhatmaker@thekingsacademy.net).
Please join us in welcoming Hiko Eilertson to our Lion family!
