About Me

Hello, Wade Hampton family! My name is Matthew Ables. I grew up in Greenville and went to Wade Hampton (class of 2000), as did both my parents, my brother, and my sister... so Wade Hampton is truly in our blood. I went to Clemson for undergrad, majoring in English, and then The Citadel for my Masters of Arts in Teaching. After teaching in Charleston, my wife and I moved back to Greenville and I spent 8 years teaching English I at the Dorman Freshman Campus before making the move back to Wade Hampton in 2019. I’m excited to now be able to teach in my local community and to help prepare students to be ready for their college and career goals. My wife Beth and I have 2 kids (Summit Drive Elementary/League Academy) and we spend a lot of time with our church community and getting outside hiking and working in the garden.
