Ranger Family,
My name is Matt O’Hearn. Prior to joining the HLSD family, I was a social studies teacher and coach at Northland HS in Columbus, OH from 2001-2005 and Northmont HS in Clayton, Ohio from 2005-2007. I joined the HLSD staff in 2007 as a social studies teacher for HTHS. During my time with the district, I have served in multiple roles such as AP Government Teacher, Social Studies Co-Chair, Dean of Students, and Assistant Principal. I am now entering my second year as HTHS Principal.
I received my undergraduate degree from Otterbein University and my masters degree from the American College of Education.
My dad is a retired social studies teacher and has been a huge influence in my life. I remember visiting his classroom and attending extracurricular activities as a kid. I wanted to work in education because it is the building blocks of everything that we do in society. My time in school taught me how to learn, persevere, set goals, laugh, cry, have fun, and problem solve. My wife is also involved in education. She is a social studies teacher in Columbus City Schools. My drives to and from work typically involve talks with her that are centered around education.
Outside of the school day, I coached for 22 years at the middle school and high school levels. Sixteen of those coaching years were spent at HMS and HTHS. I currently coach my kids’ youth sports including track and basketball. I enjoy running and watching the Rangers, Bengals, and Buckeyes. I have been married to my wife Brandy for 18 years and have two sons, Evan is 13, and Ryan is 9. I also have a goldendoodle named Charlie.
I can’t wait to see what the students accomplish this school year with the support of the staff, parents/guardians, and the community.
Never hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns (614) 491-8044 ext.1802.
GO RANGERS!
Best Regards,
Matt O’Hearn

Ranger Family,
My name is Kyle Anderson, and I am the Assistant Principal at Hamilton Township High School. Since beginning my career with the Hamilton Local School District, I have taken on various roles including intervention specialist, department chair for special education, district transition coordinator, and the Dean of Students before assuming the role of Assistant Principal. I also spent 13 years coaching high school football here at HT, fostering student academic and athletic growth.

I am a graduate of Hamilton Township High School, class of 2003, and am deeply connected to this community. My wife, Belinda Anderson, is also a Hamilton Township alumni from the class of 2006. We are proud parents of two wonderful children, Benny and Alaina.
I am dedicated to supporting the academic, social, and emotional development of each Hamilton Township High School student. I am excited to collaborate with the staff, students, and families to create a positive learning environment.
Go Rangers!
