Sarah Wade Moore

Sarah (Wade) Moore, a proud 2008 graduate of Christian Central Academy (CCA), has a heartfelt story that highlights her journey from student to dedicated educator and coach. Her path began in the close-knit, supportive environment of CCA, where she developed not only academically but also spiritually, laying the foundation for her future in both life and career.
After graduating from CCA, Sarah attended Houghton College (now Houghton University), where she majored in Inclusive Childhood Education with a concentration in Math and Science. Reflecting on her college years, she shared, "I loved my time at Houghton. I met some lifelong friends who helped me dive deeper into my relationship with God." During her time there, she even roomed with fellow CCA graduate Aime Stuitje. After completing her degree in 2012, Sarah began working at daycares before moving to a school for students with disabilities. While she found joy in helping students with challenges, she said, "God had a different calling for me." In 2015, Sarah returned to CCA as a teacher, where she’s been serving ever since.
Looking back at her time as a student, Sarah fondly remembers how close-knit the CCA community was: "We were like a family." She treasures memories from soccer games, phys ed classes, mission trips to the Dominican Republic, and even the unique experience of having her mom and grandfather as teachers. One of her most cherished memories is from 8th grade when she gave her life to Jesus: "This was greatly influenced by my Bible teacher, Mrs. Burr. Her godly example inspired me to want a deeper relationship with Christ." And, of course, she has her fair share of humorous moments, like the time she tipped over in her desk during her mom’s math class while trying to pick up a pen!
