Maxine Taylor Hudson

Ms. Hudson was my Social Studies Department Chair when I arrived at North Charleston in 1989. She was a phenomenal leader. She preferred to be called "Maxine," not "Mrs. Hudson." I taught American Government, among other subjects, when Charleston County implemented the first content-based standardized tests in the state...commonly known as County Exams. Furthermore, the scores of my students would be compared to those of students in every other high school in the county, including Wando....

So sorry to hear of Maxine’s passing. She was a wonderful friend to my Mom, Betty McMillan Hudson. I have fond memories of visiting with Maxine when I visited my Mom. Love and prayers to her family and especially for Shera.

We will miss our Aunt Maxine. I loved to listen to her talk. Her voice was so soothing and her knowledge was immense. We loved her so much.

She was my high school teacher. She was an inspiration to many, including myself, and was always supportive of my development. I taught at North Charleston for a year while she was still there. I wound up teaching the very same subjects she had taught me.

Mrs. Hudson was a wonderful person. She devoted many years teaching History at North Charleston High School. I´m thankful to have spent time with Shera Lynn and her parents.....special family.

Shera Lynn, I was so saddened to read of your mother's passing. It brought back many good memories of working on the Blue Devil in your family's home. Your mother was a strong support as we dealt with issues editing the newspaper. I never had your mom as a teacher, but my husband, Bobby, did. He thought she was the BEST!!! He always talked fondly of her when we would discuss our days at NoChas. I am confident your mom left a lasting impression on her students and blessed them with her...

Shera Lynn, I was sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a mentor to me when I started at North Charleston and a good friend . I fondly remember those days and the students that I taught. Your u.S. History class was probably the most enjoyable class I ever had. I am now living in Manchester, GA - about 65 miles from Stone Mountain - raising a grandson (112 years old). May God bless you. Mike Turner

A great educator and a woman of accomplishment. She will be missed.

Shera Lynn, may you find peace and comfort in the coming days. To me, your mom was a substitute mom, rather than my teacher (since she requested not to have those of us who were almost like her children in her class), and I remember the wonderful times we had at both your house and mine as we were growing up.
