Mr. Cain

Welcome!  This year I am teaching United States History and Government and AP United States History for grade 11, as well as Effective Participation in Government and Economics for grade 12. Students are required to pass all three courses prior to graduation. U.S. History is a full year course that culminates with the U.S. History and Government Regents Exam.  Advanced Placement United States History is for students that want the challenge of a college level course. Students prepare to take the AP Exam in early May, as well as the Regents Exam in June. Students may elect to take the course concurrently with Jefferson Community College through the EDGE program, taking History 150 and 151 and earning up to 6 credit hours. Both Participation in Government and Economics are half year courses that have a locally created culminating assessment.

I graduated from St. Lawrence University with a B.A. in History and a minor in Education.  I earned an M.A. in Secondary Social Studies Education from SUNY Potsdam.

In addition to my teaching duties, I am also the advisor for the Whiz Quiz team and the Varsity Softball Coach.
