Steve Clarke is a sixth-grade teacher with a superpower: He’s a champion pumpkin carver, an obsessive skill that also gives him serious clout among his students come Halloween season. But Clarke, of Havertown, Penn., is clear-headed about his impressive hobby.
Clarke certainly has done that. In addition to creating stunning works of art into the side of pumpkins — from ghosts and ghouls to replicas of “The Scream” and “Mona Lisa” — he holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest time carving a single pumpkin: 16.47 seconds, to be exact. That skill should come in especially handy, given his limited free time: A sixth-grade teacher of social studies, religion and middle school PE at the Holy Child School in Rosemont, Penn., he also coaches football, basketball and track. And he shares his pumpkin carving chops with his students whenever he can.
His talent almost took him to the White House — Al Gore hired him in 1999 to carve 20 or 30 pumpkins for his Halloween party. But then, well, the rest is history.
