Who we are

At Elevate Learning & Behavior, we believe every school has the potential to create classrooms where students thrive and teachers feel supported. Founded by Matt Hicks, a school leader with a passion for helping educators succeed, and guided by Zach Sturgill, our VP of Services and Operations, we bring together expertise in education and behavioral health. Our mission is simple: to partner with schools by providing practical strategies, meaningful coaching, and evidence-based behavioral supports that make a lasting difference for students, teachers, and communities.
