Alumni Feature

Katie Hautamaki

I am thankful to have deep roots at CCS. I attended the school from preschool through ninth grade (I would have stayed longer had there been more grades at the time!), along with my sisters. Each time I step inside the auditorium I think about how much of my spiritual growth took place there, as I learned God's stories, memorized his words to us, and sang his praises day in and day out. My teachers modeled lives of devotion to Jesus and encouraged me in my love of reading, writing, biblical studies and theology.

In 2007, I graduated from Wheaton College in Illinois with degrees in English and American religious history. I married Daniel Hautamaki and we moved to Atlanta, then Brooklyn, then back to Tallahassee. Over the years I've worked as a writer, editor, children's ministry director, and bookstore events director. My latest venture is the magazine startup Visual Hymnal, which explores the intersection of Christian faith and creative work. I am also in the beginning stages of a written and photographic history of CCS.

Daniel and I have three children, all of whom have attended CCS since preschool. We are grateful for the excellent academic instruction, intentional spiritual formation, and sweet community they benefit from here.
