When he’s not reading for pleasure or to prepare for classes, he enjoys going to the movies, completing puzzles, playing with his four young children Galen, Theodore, Virginia, and John David, and spending time at home with his wife Cate.
Cory Anglin
Instructor of Great Texts
 
Cory Anglin grew up north of Houston and received his BA in English from Southwestern University, and his MA in Santa Fe from St. John’s College. During this time, many moons ago, he became enamored with the search for Truth and spent years of his life devouring books in the humanities to help unveil God’s Beauty, Goodness, and Truth in all things. Early on in this quickening quest, he discovered classical education and Orthodoxy. He is delighted to have finally found a place in TSCS that blends these two pillars in his life.
 
Cory has worked as a college admissions counselor, nurseryman of plants, sommelier of wine, and teacher for almost two decades. When leisure and free time finds him, he is likely to be reading, galivanting in the outdoors, enjoying CrossFit, trying to be like Bandit and Gandalf for his daughters (Lucia and Beatrice), camping, dabbling in the martial arts, traveling, gardening, or happily being at home preparing healthful but delectable meals for his family.  
Nicholas Dalbey
Instructor of Great Texts
 
Nick Dalbey is the Head of School at The Saint Constantine School. He received an MA in English literature from Middle Tennessee State University, and a BA in English literature from Biola University where he’s also a perpetual member of the Torrey Honors College.

He spent most of his graduate studies researching the overlap of classical philosophy, Christian theology, and medieval literature in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer. And he is currently working on a doctorate in English literature at University of Houston.

He's also married to TSCS college registrar Justine Dalbey and is a father of three children. When he's not working, he's usually reenacting the Nutcracker Ballet or Swan Lake with his kids, having been unanimously appointed the "Bad Guy" in both stories.

Caitlin has a Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot School of Theology, and a degree in English Literature from Biola University, where she is a perpetual member of The Torrey Honors College.

Alongside her duties as Head of School, she teaches great books and literature in The Saint Constantine College.
 
Cate loves going to work everyday with her husband David and their four young children, Galen, Theodore, Virginia, and John David. She loves cooking, reading, and long family road trips, and can’t wait for the day when they’re able to live just a little outside the city again.
Zach Harris
Instructor of Sciences
 
The Lord led Zach Harris to Saint Constantine after a period of religious and priestly formation with a small Catholic religious community in Kansas City, Kansas and at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis, where he completed a MA in Theology. Prior to this stint in religious life, Zach received a Master of Engineering in aerospace engineering from Texas A&M University and Bachelor’s degrees in physics and aerospace engineering from the University of Notre Dame. A former STEM-elitist, Zach was exposed to the beauty and rigor of the liberal arts while in college and has become steadily convinced of the need for and power of a classical education like that provided at TSCS.
 
A native Dallasite, Zach has found Houston a great home and he is grateful to be close to family both in Houston and elsewhere in Texas. For leisure, Zach enjoys playing sports, spending quality time with family and friends, singing in the faculty choir, and reading; in addition, he regularly remembers that he wants to make more time to practice the piano - may this be the year!
Reyna Johnson
Assistant Professor of Great Texts and Literature
 
Reyna Johnson is a Ph.D. candidate at Baylor University. Originally from Los Angeles, she holds a B.A. in English from Regent University. Her dissertation is a transnational examination of the imagery of motherhood and Marian devotion in the works of three medieval female authors: Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, and Christine de Pizan. She proposes that, though the arguments and goals of these authors differ widely, all the women use Marian identification in some capacity to strengthen the authority of their claims.
 
When not dissertating, Reyna often dabbles in creative writing. She enjoys camping when the weather is good, baking when inspiration strikes, and tabletop gaming when the chance arises; however, her enjoyment of settling down with a purring cat and an engrossing novel is constant, unaffected by weather, inspiration, or chance.

Brandon LeBlanc
HR Coordinator
 
Brandon LeBlanc is a two-time graduate of the University of Texas with a BA in History and a Master's in Business Administration.

After a career including college ministry, a stint in the Governor’s Office, and a food truck, Brandon spent five years at The CIRCE Institute, a Christian Classical Education not-for-profit, before joining the staff at TSCS. While there, he also graduated from CIRCE’s Teaching Apprenticeship.

He takes his coffee seriously and he takes it black. Brandon can trace his family lineage to a Longfellow poem, Charlamagne, and Odin. With family in Tennessee and after living in North Carolina, he believes that America offers several delicious varieties of BBQ and that you should always eat the local variety -- which is why he is glad to be back where brisket is king. Brandon continues to host Quiddity and Overdue Classics on The CIRCE Podcast Network.
