Hello, my name is Amanda Rauh and I teach 5th grade English Language Arts! I have a Bachelor's Degree from Winthrop University in Elementary Education, a Master of Education from Columbia College, and a Master of Education from Walden University. I began teaching in 2007 and I have been at Newington Elementary since 2017. On a personal note, I married my wonderful husband, Jonathan, a little over a year ago. We moved to Charleston from Columbia for his career and have LOVED being in this area. When I am not at school, I enjoy reading books, going to the beach, spending time with my family and friends, football games, and concerts. I am also slightly obsessed with Chick-fil-a!
