Prior to teaching for the South Carolina public school system, I worked for the South Carolina Judicial Department, first in Family Court and later in Circuit Court. 

I began teaching in Lexington/Richland School District Five in 1998.  I taught at Chapin High School for two years and began teaching at Irmo High School in 2000. I have had the opportunity to teach several courses in the Career and Technology Department throughout the years.  Several courses that I have taught at Irmo High School are Accounting I and II, Personal Finance, Integrated Business Application, and Google Applications. 

I earned a B.S. Degree in Business Education from Benedict College, a Master's Degree in Conflict Resolution from Columbia College, plus 30 hours above Master's Degree in Technology.  I am a National Boards Certified Teacher. I am the adviser for Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) at Irmo High School.   I can be reached at (803) 476-3186 or at csearles@lexrich5.org.
