Hello,
My name is Dr. Austen Rockcastle, and this Fall marks the beginning of my 29th year of teaching, and my 11th year at Eagle Ridge Academy. After earning a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a Master's and Ph.D in Philosophy, all from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas, I began teaching Philosophy at the University of St. Thomas (no relation) in St. Paul, Minnesota. But I have spent almost all of the last 23 years teaching (primarily) Latin, Math and Humanities at classical schools such as Trinity School, Eagle Ridge Academy and Chesterton Academy. In fact, in collaboration with Mrs. Erin Johnson and others, I helped to develop Eagle Ridge Academy's Humanities program from its earliest stages.
In addition to teaching at Eagle Ridge Academy, I am currently serving on our school board.
I live in St. Paul, and I have a son who is studying Computer Science at the University of Minnesota.
