About Certamen, Parnassus Books, and a creative twist on the choice of Achilles.
With a Classics degree from Yale University, Kate Hattemer chaired the Classics Department at Flint Hill School in Oakton, Virginia and has also taught at Walnut Hills High School and Cincinnati Gifted Academy. Kate has long been deeply involved in the Junior Classical League (JCL), with a special interest in Certamen; she captained two national championship teams in high school, coached many state teams for both Ohio and Virginia, and served as the Virginia JCL's Certamen Chair. Kate also writes books for children and young adults. Her four published novels have earned starred reviews and nominations to "Best of the Year" lists by the American Library Association, Kirkus, Bustle, and the Los Angeles Public Library. She now lives and writes in Cincinnati, where she spends much of her time trying to convince her two toddlers to call her "mater."
