About me
Welcome to 12th Grade US Government! I am so excited to have you in class. This is my second year teaching government. I had the opportunity to teach 10th/11th Grade Government at Tyrone during the 2024/2025 school year, and I am absolutely thrilled to be here at Bellefonte this year! To learn more about the class, please check on the Syllabus. To learn about our weekly Current Event assignment, check out the rubric here. To contact me, I have all of my info located under the Contact Info tab.
We will be working on getting students registered to vote this year, but if you or a loved one would like an easy way to do so, I have a button on my page that takes you straight to the Registration site!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to a successful year!
