Hello, I am Xavier R. Amaker.  I am a native of Lexington, South Carolina.  I am beginning my 8th year in education and 1st full year here at White Knoll Middle School.  Before coming to White Knoll, I studied Education at Clemson University.  I am a Soldier in the South Carolina Army National Guard, so about once a month I am unavailable on weekends and sometimes Fridays.  I am married to my amazing wife, Mariah.  Together we have one beautiful daughter, and I have a son on the way.  I really enjoy humor and making every learning experience enjoyable.  When I am not at school, I can be found trying to keep up with my Clemson Tigers, enjoying sports, watching movies, reading various genres of books, playing board games (especially chess), traveling and spending time with my family and friends.  I am devoted to lifelong learning, so I am eager to listen and learn from you all!  I promise to work and fight for your child every step of this journey.  Thank you for your time!
