Hello and welcome to 8th grade United States History.  My name is Mr. Gummelt and I will be your Social Studies teacher for this year.  I look forward to meeting everyone that will be in my classes for the 2022-23 school year.  

Please come to class ready to learn, pay attention to the lessons and discussions, and actively participate in classroom learning.  Everyone can do well in the U.S. History class by completing assignments in a timely manner, studying for quizzes/exams, and asking questions if you are unsure about the material or the assignments.

My favorite sport is soccer.  I have coached competitive youth soccer for several years and was the soccer coach for 2 years at another Jr. High school in the Houston area.  I enjoy watching soccer matches from around the world and I am looking forward to the 2022 Men's World Cup that will take place in Qatar later this year.
