“Before the Indy and Laguna Blanca, I’d never spent more than five years working anywhere,” says Charles Donelan, both a beloved high school English teacher and the well respected executive arts editor at our newspaper. “I’ve been able to stay and build a career.”
There’s a beautiful mixture of excitement, sophistication, curiosity, and wonder about Charles. When I hear him speak about teaching, he reminds me of Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society.
“It’s a fantastic, positive thing in my life,” he says. “I’ve been teaching at Laguna Blanca for 15 years of my life. It’s allowed me to explore all these different ideas with minimum supervision.”
