Rock Star Footballer and the Photographer of the Century

By Marina Guirguis

In his college years, Clay Huggins played base guitar in a band called “Threshold.” The band toured, and even made a few CDs. Until this day, his rocker side is exposed when he plays guitar hero, a popular game for those interested into the genera of music. Don’t forget his obvious football appeal! Clay Huggins has been teaching for six years. He taught AP chemistry, chemistry and physical science. His favorite age group to teach is the high school age. “They are more able to deal with abstract things,” claims Mr. Huggins.
Susannah Huggins went to Texas Tech University. She was enlisted in a student exchange program, which sent her to Italy for half a year. “The artwork was amazing,” she said, her eyes dazed as if she was re-living the memory of the magical country. Susannah loves traveling. She has been teaching for about three years and has taught art, drawing, photography and AP art history. Susannah has taught every age group imaginable and even bilingual students. She expects more of the Schutz students. She thinks that since this is a private school, students pay to go here. They need to do their best otherwise it would be a loss of money and education opportunity. Stop being so lazy!
In Mrs. Huggins’ art career, she has won countless contests and awards, and she also won a scholarship to go to school in Florence. She has had many art shows, displaying both her photography and artwork.
The Huggins are one of the new fun-loving couples teaching at Schutz this year. Susannah teaches the art classes while Clay is in charge of a number of high school science classes. In the couple’s short time in Egypt, they have tried the legendary camel riding, which seems to be highly recommended to new comers. They enjoyed attempting such a daring activity. Together, they enjoy photography and claim to be addicted to Starbucks. Mrs. Huggins shared the story of when they taught in the U.S. There was a Starbucks a short distance from the school they taught at. When students would need to turn in late assignments, Susannah would direct them to come to Starbucks and find them there at anytime after school. The couple enjoys backpacking. They are from Texas, but they would backpack through California and Wyoming and even Washington DC at times.
Susannah and Clay Huggins love the school by far. They favor the size and the comfortable home-y feeling. If you ever want to find them after school, check out the gym, for at the moment the couple coach both girls and boys varsity volleyball.
