Clements

• The first two years of undergraduate study was at
  Shorter College, Rome Georgia. After two years
  duty with Uncle Sam, I returned to Shorter and
  completed a BA degree in art with a minor in
  music.
• A graduate assistantship was offered at East
  Tennessee State University at the Carroll Reese
  Museum. This led to a 2-year study and resulted
  in a degree in art ( MA ).
• After graduate school, I started teaching art in
  Baxley, Georgia and then in Albany, Georgia
  (public schools). Then a switch was made to a
  private school, Woodward Academy in Atlanta
  (College Park) where I taught art and drama.
  During this time in public and private schools, I
  also taught adult art education and art classes
  at Brewton Parker College, Albany Jr. College and
  Clayton Jr. College.
• From Woodward, I entered the business world for
  several years. During this time, I managed as few
  as 10 employees and as many as 65 employees.
  After two downsizings and one business closure, I
  returned to teaching. My certification had
  expired, so I became a substitute teacher and
  took classes in special education and Praxis for
  re-certification. During this time a para-pro
  resigned and I took that position for the second
  half of the year. This led to my current position
  as special education teacher.
• My music and art training is still utilized. My
  wife is the choir director and I am the pianist
  at Piedmont UMC. I give private piano lessons
  during the school year and art lessons during the
  summer.
