Quick Biography of Mr. Hiemstra:

     I have been teaching here at East Chapel Hill High School since 2004.  Before that I was a teaching at J.E.B Stuart High School (now Justice High School) in Fairfax County, Virginia.  Before that I was a lobbyist in Washington, D.C. for 4 years.  Before that I worked for the U.S. Congress for 5 years.  

     I teach because I love it, and because I hope to instill a passion for learning in youngsters.  I have two daughters who went through the school district, and that has made me a better teacher because I can view education and learning from different perspectives.

     This will be a great year in Honors Civil War / American West and American History.
