Andy Newman calls western Nebraska home, that borderland where Midwest and West shake hands. There he has taught literature, composition, history, journalism, and the humanities for more than twenty years at the high school and college levels. This is his fifth year at Scholé. Before teaching, he worked in daily print journalism.
His education is varied, having earned master’s degrees in history and English from the University of Wyoming and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, respectively. Most recently, he earned a MTh in Applied Orthodox Theology from the Antiochian House of Studies and a MA in Biblical Theology from John Paul the Great Catholic University. He will defend his dissertation early in 2027 for the PhD in Humanities from Faulkner University.
