A Resource Website for World
History Students

Welcome
to my site. You are viewing the Grand Tetons near
Jackson, Wyoming. I
think this is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. I have
spent most of my life traveling. Even though I was traveling for work,
I used the opportunity to learn about people, places, and HISTORY. The
place pictured above is a significant spot on the planet for me. The
story is too complicated to relate here, so for now, just enjoy the
picture. Nothing painful about this place; unless a grizzly decides on
you for lunch. :) If you're lucky you may even spot a falcon
soaring above.
I just completed
my
first year in
education after spending a career in sales. This is a second career
for me and I love sharing history. Dacula High School,
home of the Falcons,
is my education home. For the past 3 years we have been ranked in the
top 5% of high schools in America, by Newsweek
Magazine. When I see my students, I often reminisce about
my days in high school; we were the Falcons too. There have been many
changes since then. For instance, we had no personal computers, ipods,
or cell phones. I witnessed the introduction of color television, fast
food, and rock and roll. Guess what? That's history. One day you too
will look back and think about the past. The story of the past is what
I teach.
If you would like to take an interesting day trip, then drive to Apalachee, Ga. Falcons fly here also and you can visit the historic school house where my grandmother and great aunt taught school. In the early 1900's, all of the grades from elementary through high school were taught here. This too is history. I used to love listening to my grandmother talk about "the good ole days." I also loved walking the pastures, swimming in the river, and enjoying the outdoors around Apalachee. I consider my teaching as carrying on the legacy my ancestors established.

Hardly
anyone likes going to the dentist; unpleasant right? Ask many
high-schoolers if they like history and most will say, "about as much
as the dentist." It is my job to try and alleviate the pain of learning
about the past. I'm the Novocaine for World History students, so to
speak. Unfortunately Novocaine is administered with a shot. Let's look
at this as your responsibility. The shot is paying attention in class
and doing your class assignments. I will promise to make it painless
for you. The space below will be very important to you success in my
class. Here you will find many helpful links, including assignments and
dates for tests and projects.
