8th Grade North Carolina/United States History
Colonization to Present Day
Message to Students
Welcome to 8th grade! Last century, I graduated from North Carolina State University with a degree in History. This is my twenty-first year teaching, all of which have been spent in the 8th grade at Western Middle. I love this school and community and I am looking forward to another great school year.
This year in social studies, students will focus on North Carolina history with an added emphasis on United States history.
I am passionate about what I teach, so we're going to have fun!
