Faculty Spotlight- Jennifer Shaw
Happy Teacher Tuesday! We love celebrating the teachers who make CAK such a special place to learn and grow.Read More
Meet Mrs. Jennifer Shaw, one of our wonderful 2nd-grade teachers! This is her fourth year at CAK, and she says she loves teaching here because of the strong academics, faith-based community, and the joy of being here with her own children.
“I love my students, coworkers, and administration!” Mrs. Shaw shared when asked about her favorite part of teaching at CAK.
She and her husband of 27 years have two children—Ava, a sophomore nursing student at UT, and Jack, a current junior at CAK. When she’s not in the classroom, Mrs. Shaw enjoys reading, traveling, shopping, and cheering on Jack at basketball games.
We’re so thankful for Mrs. Shaw’s heart for teaching and the way she shares Christ’s love with her students each day! 💙💛 -
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.Read More
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!
