About Me

Name:  Diane Austin

Birthday:  May 28, 1983

Hometown:  Greenville, NC

This is my seventh year teaching, all of which have been at Pinnacle Classical Academy. I began my teaching career at PCA with two years in middle and high school Physical Education, followed by three years teaching middle school science for both 7th and 8th grade. I then transitioned to teaching high school courses, where I have taught 7th Grade Science, Zoology, AP Computer Science A, Robotics, and Honors Chemistry.

This year, I am excited to be teaching exclusively at the high school level, where I will be instructing Honors Chemistry, Honors Robotics, and AP Physics 1 (algebra-based). In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I serve as the head coach for PCA’s FTC Robotics team, the Pi Rho Eagles, and am actively involved in the community as a member of the Shelby National Exchange Club. Looking ahead, I am also planning to establish an Excel Club for our high school students to encourage leadership, service, and academic growth.

I am passionate about science, technology, and engineering education and am committed to fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and innovation in the classroom and beyond.
