Mike Goudy
Once a teacher, always a teacher. After retiring from teaching at Oskaloosa High School in May of 2020, Hillcrest Academy is blessed to have Mike Goudy join our team as a Science Instructor. He is famous for beginning tests with the direction of: “Explain the question from the molecular level to the macro level.” His thorough knowledge of and experience with creatively teaching the subject matter are assets which he brings to our Science Department. With Mike, it’s not all about teaching. Having eight grandchildren, he stays busy babysitting, attending sporting events, camping, birthday parties, going on canoe trips, kayaking, and driving to the afore-listed. He would say his granddaughters only visit him to eat his famous grilled cheese sandwiches and see “Mags”, his yellow labrador retriever. Each fall, after a summer of competing in as many 3-D archery shoots as possible, you will find him sitting in a tree stand with his trusty Bear compound bow. Mikes says, “The solitude gives me time to feel God’s presence in His nature.” He bought his first archery deer hunting license when he was sixteen and seldom misses a season. This love for archery led to him being the advisor for (the first in the nation), high school Pheasants Forever Chapter.
