About The Coolest Person- Mrs. Caruso
I grew up in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I decided to major in Elementary Education so that I had the building blocks in education. In Broward County I spent five years at the middle school level teaching grade 6 World History. I was then offered a position at a brand new high school where I taught grade 10 World History (regular and advanced) as well as Advanced Placement European History.
In 2007 we moved to Bay County, FL. I have been teaching at JMS since then; teaching Geography, Civics and US History.
