George Morganis ‘13 BA, ‘15 MA, Humanities Teacher and Admissions Associate, King’s Academy
I soon realized upon arriving at PC that, unlike other disciplines, majoring in History was not about training for a specific job or industry, but about developing the skills and habits of mind — the foundations of lifelong learning — that could lend themselves to any career. After graduating with a BA’13 and MA’15 in History, I moved to Athens, Greece, where I participated in the Ancient Athenian Agora Excavations at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Following the end of the excavation season, I moved to rural Japan, where I taught in the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme for two years. After two years overseas, I returned to Providence and completed a MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) in Secondary Social Studies/History at Brown University. I am now a Middle School Humanities teacher at King’s Academy, a boarding school in Jordan founded by His Majesty King Abdullah II, and I intend to keep teaching abroad, excavating, and learning.
