About The Teacher

I am pleased to be teaching your son/daughter this year.  I really enjoy 
teaching! This is my 10th 
year 
teaching Civics/economics.  I have an undergraduate degree in Economics from 
Western Carolina University with an ROTC commission as an Army Officer.  
After serving in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper I joined the Greensboro 
Police Dept. where I spent 7 1/2 years as a tactical patrol officer.  At the 
end of my police career, I obtained a masters degree in education at UNC-
Greensboro.  It’s natural that I am teaching government because I have spent 
most of my life working for the government.

Mission For The Class

Through the study of Civics and Economics, students consider political, 
governmental, and legal topics that engage them in examining the legal and 
political and economic systems of our society.  This course begins with the 
historical foundations of civil, political, and economic activism that 
created our nation, state, and localities. It empowers students to become 
politically and economically active and responsible citizens of the twenty-
first century.

To help prepare our students for the future.
