Hello Chapin Middle School!

My name is Ryan Phillips and I am joining Chapin Middle School as a Seventh Grade Geography teacher.   I have spent the past three years teaching at Muller Road Middle School in Richland School District Two.  Prior to that I taught at Lower Richland High School in Richland One.  I graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2007 with a bachelor of arts in Political Science.  I am also a 2002 graduate of Dutch Fork High School, and am thrilled to be returning home to LexRich5.  I have been married for eleven years to my beautiful wife and we have two daughters that are ages five and two.  When I am not at school I enjoy spending time with my girls and our dog Berkely.  I am also an avid runner and coffee drinker.  I am so excited to be here to teach and grow with your children.
