Hello!  It's good to be starting another year as a Panther.  This will be 9th year at Ridge Point and my 26th year as a teacher. I'm looking forward to teaching my students about the United States since the late 1800's.  Many of these stories they already know through the media, family stories, and even personal experience.  This course will help students to round out their knowledge and get a fuller picture of important U.S. History.  When I am not teaching, I enjoy good movies and music and traveling with my family.
