Mr. Craddock has made a name for himself as one of the most beloved teachers throughout Leesville.  Students who have had him as a teacher have praised him for his high-energy approach to teaching as well as his overall cheerful attitude. 

As a teacher, Craddock has always shared a love for social studies.  He graduated from UNC Charlotte before becoming a long-term substitute teacher at Heritage High School, and then took a job opportunity at Leesville. He teaches World History, Sociology, and Civics. 

Students enjoy his sense of humour and charisma.  His teaching style has been described as helpful and engaging, enabling students to develop a deeper understanding of the topics he teaches.  “He’s a really awesome teacher, I always looked forward to going to his class, he was very funny,” said Kaleigh Arnett, junior. 

He said, “My favorite part about teaching is just fun moments with students and getting to meet so many amazing students that I’ve had, It’s just been incredibly fun.” 

Of course, as with everyone here at Leesville, he shares his own love for the school itself.  “The Leesville community is unlike anything else… just the overall student body, I’m sure they are great otherwise, but I could not imagine better students,” said Craddock.

Mr. Craddock is a cherished teacher here at Leesville, and his affection for his students is fully reciprocated by everyone who knows him.
