Names in the News Freitag Earns Teacher of the Year Award by Amanda King, Augusta Chronicle Augusta Christian High School Principal Wayne Marchant has seen the impact of math teacher Amy Freitag’s teaching. From planning an escape room activity with her students to dressing like a pirate and decorating her room as a ship with loaded down treasure to teach math skills, as well as the way she pours into her students’ spiritual lives, Marchant and the faculty at Augusta Christian say she goes above and beyond to teach. Freitag receives her award from Dr. Spencer Jordan. SCISA Executive Director. Now, Freitag has been recognized by the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) as the 2019 Teacher of the Year for high schools. Approximately 120 teachers in the association are nominated for the distinction and after applications and interviews, one winner is selected at each school level. Augusta Christian is a member of SCISA due to its proximity to South Carolina schools for athletic events. “It’s an absolute joy to get that kind of award for doing what I love to do,” Freitag said. She has taught at Augusta Christian for six of her 21 years in education. This is the first time a teacher from the school has earned a state teacher of the year award according to Marchant. Freitag accredits the win to spending time with and building a rapport with her students, who are now celebrating in her victory and calling her “the champ.” Freitag pictured with Mr. Les Walden, Head of School. “It’s mind-boggling that she received this. She has that ‘it’ factor,” Marchant said. “We are proud of her and it reflects on our community and our students.” First Place—Cyber City’s Best Private School Mr. Marchant and Mrs. Lowery were on hand at the Cyber City’s Best Awards Gala on July 18 to receive the Cyber City’s Best Private School award on Augusta Christian’s behalf. This is the second year in a row that our school has been honored with this award! Thanks to everyone who voted for us! Page 26 - A CLOSER LOOK YEAR IN REVIEW 2018-2019
