Faculty Spotlight- Deb Wakefield
It’s Teacher Tuesday! Each week, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our amazing CAK teachers who pour into our Warriors every single day.
Meet Mrs. Deb Wakefield, one of CAK’s dedicated Biology teachers! Mrs. Wakefield has been part of our faculty for four years, and she loves the opportunity to teach science from a biblical worldview. “I feel that the heart of Jesus is well represented here at CAK,” she shares, adding that it’s the people that make this community so special.
Science keeps her on her toes—“it’s always changing”—and she enjoys the challenge of bringing that excitement into her classroom. Since starting at CAK, Mrs. Wakefield has earned her Master’s degree in Biology and, just this month, began the Colson Fellowship on Christian Worldview to deepen her passion for integrating faith and learning.
Outside of school, Mrs. Wakefield and her husband, Jamie, are celebrating 28 years of marriage next month. They have two children: Lillian (25), an EMT, and Jake (21), a CAK graduate from the Class of 2019 and now a junior at Auburn. Their household is full and joyful, also including her parents and their three dogs, Deb's two therapy dogs, Parker and Riley, a chihuahua named Angel, and a cat named Jessie.
When she’s not teaching, you can find Mrs. Wakefield knitting, reading, shopping, or helping with yardwork.
We’re grateful to have Mrs. Wakefield’s passion for science and Christ-centered teaching here at CAK!
