In this increasingly global economy, we believe that it is imperative to speak a foreign language and learn about other cultures. Our main objective is to help students become globally engaged and productive citizens. Learning a foreign language not only opens up a student’s horizon to create empathy and understanding for all, but it also encourages students to reflect on their own use of language and culture.

Herr Hablutzel is originally from Colorado. He spent a year abroad in Braunschweig, Germany after high school. He then attended the University of Colorado-Boulder and the University of Alabama before beginning his teaching career in 1996 and has taught German 1-AP/IB.
I have been teaching German since 2006 when I was invited to pursue a graduate degree in the German Department at UNC Chapel Hill and Duke Universities. While earning a master’s degree and even reaching ABD status in the Ph.D. program at UNC, I also guest-taught lecture courses in Comparative Literature, Medieval Literature, Women's Studies, and Business German. This is my 10th year of teaching four levels of German at PHS. I currently serve as the AP German Master teacher for the district, as Chair of the Foreign Languages Department and I just completed the graduate licensure program for school administration at Wingate University. 
I have been in education for the last 19 years. I obtained a B.A. in Modern Languages from Framingham State University and a M.A. in Educational Leadership from Southeastern University. I have had the opportunity to have leading roles inside and outside of the classroom. My experiences as an educator throughout the years has continually ignited my passion for teaching and education.
I have taught Spanish for 14 years, both at the university- (beginning, accelerated, and intermediate) and high school level (I-IV, Fluent/Native Speakers, and AP L&C), in North Carolina and the Washington, DC, area. I hold a BA from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and an MEd from George Mason University. I am also certified to teach German.
I have been teaching Spanish for almost 20 years. Prior to coming to PHS, I spent 4 years at GMA in Greenville, SC. Before, I spent 6 years teaching Spanish 1, Spanish 2, 3Honors, and AP Spanish at Chapin High School. I also taught 5 years at Williams Middle School, Spanish 1, for the International Baccalaureate Program. Before SC, I taught in Santa Fe, NM. and Texas (my homestate). I earned my Master of Arts in Education in 2010. I am certified to teach AP Spanish Language and Culture, and I am also certified to teach Gifted and Talented.
