State Teacher of the Year,
South Carolina |

Ms.
Christa Compton began her teaching career eight years ago in Richland
School District Two, where she teaches English at Richland Northeast
High School. She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of
Virginia and was a Jefferson Scholar while earning her B.A. in English
and Masters in Teaching. As South Carolina Teacher of the Year, Ms.
Compton is on a year's leave of absence from the classroom to work
with the S.C. Center for Teacher Recruitment and the S.C. Teacher
Forum. She speaks to many civic and professional groups, discusses
education issues with members of the General Assembly and the State
Board of Education, and works to recruit the next generation of South
Carolina's teachers. Her mission is to convince people that teaching
is not a default career but is instead a vocation for those with keen
minds, compassionate hearts, boundless energy, and unlimited patience.
