Welcome to GTCHS:

 I look forward to working and forming relationships with your student(s) and you, their parents/guardians. This rapport helps us have a great and successful year.  

Notes for Parents/Guardians:

1. All assignments, announcements, videos, and study materials are posted in Google Classroom (links to Google Classroom can be found under the Helpful Resources tab).

2. All Parents/Guardians will get an invitation to view Google Classroom at the beginning of the year. If you accept that, you will get emails about your child's Google Classroom assignments.

3. If you want to view our Google Classroom, then you need to have your child log in to see what exactly is on our Google Classroom page.  

4. If you want to view each class syllabus or see our weekly class schedule and homework that will be due, use the Course Expectations tab.

ABOUT ME:

 A little about me: this is my 31st year of teaching, and my fourth year at GTCHS (following 22 years at Hillcrest and Mauldin).  I grew up in Greenville and attended Berea High School. After that, I went on to Furman University, where I received a B.A. in history and an M.A. in Social Studies.  

My wife of 30 years, Pam, is a retired guidance counselor.  We have two sons - Conner (30), a captain in the U.S. Air Force and stationed in Charleston, and Adam (25), a salesman for Jeff Lynch.

I love sports (especially Premier League soccer), traveling with family and friends, and being outdoors.  I love the farm to table food my son, Adam, got us hooked on but it never hurts to occasionally bring me Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

I love teaching social studies and working with our students. (You will all love my awesome jokes - all my past students did!) We have a great school, staff, group of students, and parents.
