John Henry Hill (September 11, 1791 – July 1, 1882)[1] was a United States businessman, educator and member of the Episcopal Church, chiefly identified with teaching and missionary work in Greece.
At Athens he and his wife, Frances Maria Mulligan Hill (1799-1884), who he had married in 1821, established schools for girls and boys.
[2] The Greek government eventually founded a school for boys, and the Hills decided to devote their attention to educating girls.
Their work at first received little encouragement, but prospered after pupils from prominent and wealthy Greek families began to attend the school.
Hill was chaplain of the British Legation in Greece from 1845 to 1875, and continued his teaching during that time.
