About Me 

Hi yall!

My name is Clayton Wynn and I grew up in the Sea Islands of the Lowcountry, specifically Beaufort, SC. I am a girl dad to two beautiful girls. My oldest daughter Aria and the new baby, Mya. My amazing wife is also a teacher in Greenville; she teaches Pre-K Special Education at Woodland Elementary. Funny enough, both my older brother and his wife also teach for Greenville County at Riverside High and Mauldin High. When I am not spending time with the family and around any kind water, (pool, ocean, river, puddles if I have to), I am rooting on the Florida Gators or maybe even shaking off my boots and playing or watching some rugby, which I played all 4 years of my time at Coastal Carolina University. 

As for my educational and teaching background, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Coastal Carolina University. I started teaching in Beaufort just a few days after graduating due to a teacher leaving mid year. I would spend the next 5 years teaching 3rd and 5th grade at the elementary school before jumping up to 8th grade at Lady's Island Middle. This was a special move up for me as it was the school I personally attended when I was in middle school. Some of my former teachers and office staff were still working there when I joined the staff, making for a truly special few years. I spent two years teaching 8th grade SS before my wife and I decided to move to the upcountry. Goodbye rivers and ocean (insert cry face), and hello mountains, lakes(yay water!), and snow(not sure how I feel about this). 

The 2023-2024 school year will be my first year teaching 8th grade social studies at Riverside Middle, and I could not be more ecstatic to be joining such a prestigious, welcoming school and community. I look forward to hopefully making history a far less boring subject for every child that comes through my doors. We are in for a special year.
