Eric Compton

Eric Compton is one of HCA’s Secondary Math Teachers. He teaches AP Calculus, AP Precalculus, AP Physics, Personal Finance and is also adding to our electives by leading Robotics/Coding and Applied Science.

Growing up in a military family, Mr. Compton chose to follow that route himself. Upon graduating from high school, he attended the University of Portland where he was awarded an Air Force ROTC scholarship and graduated with a BS in Physics. Subsequently, he was commissioned into the Air Force and completed pilot training to become a helicopter pilot. During his 23 years in the military, Mr. Compton served in numerous capacities including as: an instructor and evaluator of future Air Force pilots; a trainer for pilots from countries including Iraq, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Indonesia and Thailand; and as a Combat Aviation Advisor with Air Force Special Operations Command.

After retiring from the military as a disabled veteran in 2022, Mr. Compton decided to put his love of science and God’s creation to use by pursuing an advanced degree in the field of education and is thankful for the opportunity to be able to minister in a Christian school.
