This is my third year at South Hills High School. I have a Bachelor's degree in History, with a focus on the Pacific Campaign and the Native American Wars from Cameron University, and a Master's degree in History, with a focus on Latin America from Midwestern State University. When
I am not teaching, I make my best attempt best at The Tactical Games, hunting, fishing, or doing some sort of historical research.

I am also known as "Coach Cal" and I enjoy coaching linebackers in football, assistant to Coach D. Hernandez with girls' flag football, and am the head wrestling coach at South Hills High School.

I am the proud dad of two amazing kids. My daughter, Abigail, is currently working on two MA degrees in social work. My son, Jeremiah, is a music minister at a church in Oklahoma City. They are pretty cool kiddos and know a ton of 70s songs!

I have a "partner in non-crime" and she is well known at South Hills. Ms. Battles is a pretty cool lady and an excellent cook!

Finally, I love my job! My students are brilliant and can accomplish anything they set before themselves. We will learn a little about American History, crush the STAAR, and a lot about life. Please ask me any question or strike up a conversation about history...trust me, it is not boring! "Did you ever hear about..."
