Nathan Wales is a first-year teacher at Holy Trinity School in West Columbia, South Carolina. He attended both Immanuel Lutheran High School and College in Eau Claire, and graduated in May 2001.
He married Vanessa nee Bernthal this past summer. Vanessa had been a teacher in our school in Watertown, South Dakota. Nathan’s favorite subjects to teach are history and English. Outside the classroom he enjoys strumming the guitar and sightseeing, as well as playing volleyball with his wife.
While walking through the halls of his school you may hear Mr. Wales use his favorite expression, “Practice makes better.” Seeing the spiritual and educational growth of his students is the most rewarding part of teaching for him.
May the Lord continue to work through him to bring about such growth.
