Faculty Spotlight- Brandi Magee
11/10/2025
We love celebrating the teachers who make CAK such a special place to learn and grow. Meet Mrs. Brandi Magee!

Mrs. Magee teaches 8th-grade Pre-Algebra and Algebra and is in her 4th year at CAK (and 18th year of teaching overall!).

When asked why she chose to teach at CAK, Mrs. Magee shared, “I love CAK’s vision of partnering with families to provide Christian education that is focused both on spiritual growth and academic excellence, and I wanted to be a part of that vision as an educator.”

Brandi and her husband, Matt, have lived in Knoxville for 22 years and have three children who attend or have attended CAK—Jack (Class of 2025 and now a freshman at the University of Alabama), Owen (junior), and Anna Claire (7th grade).

Her favorite part about teaching at CAK? The people! “The students, the families, and my colleagues” make each day a joy. She especially loves the fun and engaging energy of her 8th graders and the supportive, faith-filled community around them.

In her free time, Mrs. Magee enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, reading, and doing puzzles.
