By Dr. Russell Weaver
Seth Snow, an AU Integrated Language Arts alumnus, was hired by Alpha Omega Academy in Huntsville, Texas in the fall of 2016 after having taught for a number of years in Danville, Ohio. Alpha Omega Academy is a private charter school. Snow remembers fondly that one of the first questions they asked him after he was hired was whether he could teach a Jane Austen course. This was music to his ears, and the music has not stopped playing. The headmaster singled out Seth in a faculty meeting as perhaps the best example of classical education in their school, the kind of education for which the school is aiming. He has become an adjunct professor at nearby LeTourneau University. He currently teaches British Literature I and II there as a part of his school's dual-credit program. Snow notes that he teaches exactly how he wants and what he wants. LeTourneau approached him about offering a session at their Excellence in Teaching Conference. He proposed the topic, "The Joy of Interpretation," which they accepted. And by all accounts his talk on the interpretation of poetry was well received. Most recently the Headmaster of his school was conducting a Q and A at an assembly, and he asked what makes their school a good place to learn. One student raised her hand and shouted out, “Mr. Snow,” a comment which almost the whole student body applauded. Congratulations to Seth for making a name for himself in Texas.
