Tumblr media
An assistant construction project manager with a local Minnesota company, Hugh Gaughan studied construction project management at Purdue University and the Dunwoody College of Technology. Hugh Gaughan received his high school education at the Chesterton Academy in Edina, Minnesota, where he worked on the props and stage sets for the school plays. Founded to offer a classical curriculum from a liberal arts standpoint, Chesterton Academy seeks to instill in its students an appreciation for beauty and virtue, forming them body, mind, and soul to promote a culture of life. As part of this mission, the school ensures that each student receives an equal education in the arts from drawing and painting to debate and drama. The dramatic arts at Chesterton Academy allow students the opportunity to delve into the history, philosophy, and literature of the past. Through their participation in each production as actors or serving in other roles, they flesh out ideas learned in class, solidifying their understanding of the major forces throughout history leading up to the present. Chesterton Academy follows a specific schedule of performances for its students. Sophomores delve into comedy, juniors perform in a drama, and seniors tackle Shakespeare.
