I graduated from Texas State University in 1985 with a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Political Science.  In 1986 I obtained my teacher certification from the University of Houston in Victoria, Texas.  I have been teaching Social Studies at Progressive High School since 2006, and am currently teaching US History.  Students will learn the history of the United States from 1877 to the present with an emphasis on the knowledge and skills that will be tested on the STAAR Exam in May.
