Throughout the summer, we’ll be introducing the newest members of the OPS family. Today, we are excited to welcome Mrs. Griffin Crider who is new to the Upper School English department.

"Hello everyone!

My name is Griffin Crider, and I am thrilled to be joining the OP Tribe as the 8th Grade ELA, English I, and Entrepreneurship teacher. Over the past year, I have had the privilege of getting to know many of our students while serving as a substitute teacher, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I am over the moon to share my love of literature, writing, and learning with them this year.

I grew up in the Upstate and attended Clemson University, where I met my husband, Wesley. He is a sixth-generation farmer in Bamberg, and together we are raising our two children, who also attend Orangeburg Prep.

When I'm not at school, you can usually find me with my nose in a book, my hands in the garden, or spending time with my family and our dog. I am looking forward to a wonderful year and can't wait to partner with our students and families."

Over the past week, five rising OPS seniors attended Palmetto Girls State and Boys State, where they joined student leaders from across South Carolina to learn about government, citizenship, leadership, and public service through a hands-on experience in the democratic process.

Representing OPS were Emmaline Dangerfield, Mary Legare Delaney, Morgan Gue, Parker Gray, and Maxx Judy. We are proud of these students for embracing this unique opportunity to grow as leaders and make connections with peers from across the state.
