Let me introduce Mr.
PAUL NEASE:
Mr. Nease hails from Savannah, GA and is a new edition to our History Department on the University campus. Mr. Nease has a diverse background and some cool stories about his life. Living and learning in a place like Savannah, it's no wonder why Mr. Nease has a love for history. Growing up in Savannah, he said he was always surrounded by forts, cemeteries and battle sites. "Here I am, standing on the same ground as these men... just walking down the street makes you feel like you are in the 1800's."
Mr. Nease has a
Bachelors and Masters in History. He got his start at Savannah Classical Academy, and
has w
orked the last three years at David Emanuel Academy in Stillmore, Georgia.
He has held the position of Dean of Students in Discipline, and was a head soccer coach.
Teachers tell us time and again, real-world experience can change your life. Well Paul Nease has lived it. In his late teen's, Mr. Nease had the opportunity to work, as a civilian, at West Point Military Academy. With his love of history, being a part of the this prestigious organization helped mold him into the man he is today.
When asked what made him choose St. Luke's he said, "I wanted to teach at a challenging college prep school, and St. Luke's met this criteria... College prep schools raise the level of students understanding which in-turn makes the teacher work harder. I wanted this type of environment." Well we are sure glad he chose us!
Fun Fact:
When Mr. Nease was 12 years old, he was a part of the Georgia Olympic Soccer team. His team competed against teams representing other states and he even played a game against a team from Liverpool, England.
What a cool experience!
