I taught Social Studies at CRHS from 1972 to 2002, then moved to the District office to work in Professional Development (2002 - now). In 2006 I was asked to work with the Secondary Social Studies teachers, most of whom I knew and respected. It has been a great experience, and I'm looking forward to continuing the relationship.
