A native of Matthews, NC, Sarah Clark has always been drawn to working with children. Sarah graduated from UNCC with Honors in Elementary Education and a minor in History and Japanese. She met the love of her life in 6th grade, and after many many years of friendship married him 12 years later in 2005. She jumped straight into her teaching career, earning teacher of the year, and was selected to participate in CMS’s Talented Transfer Initiative. She was transferred to Title 1 schools as a model teacher, and teacher coach for 3 years, before welcoming her son. Her passion for equity and serving children of low-income areas, kept her in Title 1 schools until 2013, when she had her second son. She loved teaching, but at that time felt a calling towards giving her children undivided attention. As soon as her children were school ready, she started her Masters in Curriculum Development and Gifted Education. While working on her Masters, she worked at her sons preschool part-time and nannied part-time. She completed the Talented Education certification, and went back into teaching until 2021, when she had her daughter. She is now a Gifted Education, part-time teacher at CMS, and continues to serve underprivileged children in the TD program.

Sarah believes that children learn best through positive experiences, filled with movement, singing and hands-on activities. She believes in equity for all children, and strives to bring world awareness and empathy into her classroom and Sunday school curriculum. She is overwhelmed with joy and thankful for a position at PPC, that caters to her talents and satisfies her deep love for teaching, children and Jesus.

In her free time, Sarah enjoys dabbling in photography, walking, cooking meals with her sons, planning parties and events, boating on Lake Tillery, and watching movies with her husband once the children are in bed.
