Class overview
Students cultivate their understanding of U.S. history from the end of Reconstruction to the present through analyzing historical sources to make connections and craft historical arguments as they explore concepts like American and national identity; work, exchange, and technology; geography and the environment; migration and settlement; politics and power; America in the world; American and regional culture; and social structures. US History and AP US History are both two semester courses. Students enrolled in both courses are expected to take and pass a STAAR EOC assessment at the conclusion of the second semester. Success on our STAAR EOC US History assessment is necessary to meet graduation requirements.
Coach Spru
In 2008 I attained my Bachelor's Degree in History at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth, Texas. I am a native of Fort Worth and I take great pride in serving the Stop Six community. 2021-2022 marks the beginning of my 11th year teaching/coaching in the Dunbar pyramid. I spent 7 years teaching 8th Grade Science and coaching football and soccer at Dunbar (Jacquet) Middle School. This will be my fourth year teaching US History and coaching football at DHS. All of my students will receive a high quality education in a safe and engaging classroom environment. I seek to prepare students for post secondary education and will consistently promote and reinforce college and career readiness. My purpose is to guide our students into becoming tomorrow's leaders, possessing and demonstrating character, integrity and a willingness to serve others.
