My name is Gregory Romanczuk, but to my students I'm known as Mr. R. I am originally from Livonia, Michigan, having moved to South Carolina in July 2021. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University (Go Eagles #truEMU) with my Bachelor's in Secondary Education - History/Social Studies along with two Associates Degrees from Schoolcraft College. I left Michigan in order pursue my dreams of being the best teacher I can be & attending Clemson University for my Masters.

This is my second year teaching, where I am currently handle U.S. History and Civics. Before teaching, I spent 5 years working as an expo and kitchen manager at a Chinese Restaurant in Michigan and another 5 years at Red Robin as a server, bartender, manager and head trainer. 

Outside of being passionate about social studies, I love sports and animals. I have been dubbed as the "Crazy Cat Guy" of Berea, as I have 3 cats (Blaine, Pearl and Preston) while my girlfriend has two (Callie and Klaus); together we have a true cat house! In sports, I love the Detroit Tigers, Red Wings and Pistons fans while rooting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and being a Clemson season ticket holder. I'm probably the biggest video game collector in the building (and also the head of Video Game Club) and I enjoy cooking and traveling whenever possible. 

In all, my goal is to help my students become the best versions of themselves while eliminating the stigma that Social Studies is boring. This next generation will run the world, I want to make sure they at least can make educated decisions.
