Tapestry Charter Middle School · Grade 5

Welcome to Dana Hank’s Page

5th Grade ELA Teacher

Ms. Hank joined the Tapestry community in 2025 as a 5th grade ELA teacher. She brings more than 20 years of experience in education, having taught grades 3–6 across five states. Before joining Tapestry, she spent three years at another charter school, where she taught 6th grade math, coached ELA for grades 5–7, and served as Dean of Scholars for grades 1–4 and 7–8. She also taught education methods courses at Medaille University.

Originally from Pittsburgh, Ms. Hank is a proud Steelers fan, though the Bills come in a close second!

Outside of school, she enjoys baking, spending time outdoors, and going on adventures with her sons, Austin and Aiden, and her close group of friends. She is excited to be part of the Tapestry family and looks forward to an amazing year ahead!
