The Merrell Family

We are excited to have the Merrell family join us at WCCS this year! They have a second-grader, Ava, at the lower school. Please give a warm welcome if you see them around, and read more about their family below!

Tell us about your family! What kinds of activities or hobbies do you enjoy together?

We are a lively bunch! Chad and Tanisha (Dad and Mom!) have been married for almost 12 years. Ava is one of 5 total kids — brother (Christopher), sisters (Carrington-married to Harrison; Madeline; and Kendal). We also have a dog–Lucy. We moved here from Louisiana about 2 years ago. My dad is the pastor of a church here in Rock Hill, which is what brought us to South Carolina! We love to be active — playing outside, hiking, walking, and meeting neighbors. We have a wide range of ages, so we enjoy doing lots of different things — exploring new places is a favorite.

How did you hear about our school?

We heard about WCCS through the excellent reputation of the school and friends.

Was there anything in particular that influenced your decision to become a part of the WCCS family?

We love that WCCS teaches students how to view their world through God’s eyes, not just through the world’s eyes. We are excited to watch Ava grow in her relationship with Jesus!
