Welcome to SSHS!!

Welcome to SSHS and to World History!!!

I am so pleased to have you in my class this semester and cannot wait to know you better.  I have many wonderful things planned for you to better understand our world and the amazing history it holds.

We do have A LOT of material to cover this semester (Like 9,000 years of history in less than 90 days A LOT), but we need to cover some housekeeping things first. So.....

Procedures and How To's

You will go over these in homeroom, but it is good to have them as a reference!
