Profile
Dr. Roman Lay
I am a proud alumnus of Alcoa High School ('11). I began teaching at Alcoa High School in 2015 after graduating from Maryville College ('15). I also received my Master's degree from Tusculum ('19) and my Ed.D. from Trevecca ('22). My wife is a choir teacher for Knox County Schools, and together, we have two wonderful children.
I teach English III: College Prep, English III: Advanced College Prep, Speech and Communication (SDC), and Advanced Placement English Language and Composition. My passion is teaching classic and young adult literature, and although I love literature, my philosophy is that teaching students is more important than teaching literature.
I am the adviser for the Alcoa High School Chapter of the National Honor Society and a coach for the Alcoa High School Gaming Club. I enjoy working with my brilliant students as they engage in extracurricular activities.
