Meet Mrs. Hope Radebaugh: 5th - 8th Grade Science

At Charleston Christian School, we’re grateful for teachers who love both their students and the subjects they teach. This month, we’re highlighting a teacher who does just that, Mrs. Hope Radebaugh, our 5th-8th grade science teacher. She brings curiosity, purpose, and a strong foundation of faith into her classroom. She is currently in her 2nd year at CCS. However, she has over 20 years of experience teaching in middle schools, high schools, and colleges.

Mrs. Radebaugh doesn’t just teach science, she helps her students see God’s handiwork in the world around them. Her classroom is full of hands-on learning, from experiments and projects to engaging field trips that bring science to life. This year, her students will dig for fossils at a quarry, explore the salt marshes on a kayak eco-tour, visit Bull Island, and experience the Center for Birds of Prey.

Her passion for science and faith is evident in everything she does. She wants her students to explore the world through the lens of both, equipping them to be critical thinkers and advocates for Christ in all that they do.

Fun Facts: 

- She was SCISA (South Carolina Independent School Association) Teacher of the Year in 2015. 

- She is a Christian itinerate speaker and has a phenomenal ministry to coaches' wives. Coaches' wives are dear to her heart as her husband was a college basketball coach for over 35 years.
