Hello Chapin Middle School!

My name is Ryan Phillips and I am entering my second year at Chapin Middle School.  I taught seventh grade Geography during the 2021-2022 school year, but will be teaching eighth grade South Carolina History in 2022-2023.  Before coming to Chapin Middle School, I previously taught at Muller Road Middle School in Richland School District Two and 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 teaching in LexRich5.  I have been married for twelve years to my beautiful wife and we have two daughters that are ages six and three.  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.
