Life Verse:
Jeremiah 29:11-13 – “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.’”

In the Classroom:
In my American Government - 10th grade class - students will learn the foundation of our system of government, study the origin of several of America's historical documents, and learn the political system surrounding our election process. Likewise, due in part to my legal background, students will learn various supreme court cases that have shaped America, learn their rights as guaranteed under the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States of America, and learn to debate the merits of such rights.
