Hi parents and students, my name is Mr. Reed and I will be your 8th Grade Georgia History teacher for the 2024-2025 School year. Just a little about myself, I am from Waynesboro, Ga or as most people know it as good ole Burke County. I love all things history and all things Georgia. I am a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan! I am looking forward to an exciting and productive year, and I hope you and your child are as well. The purpose of this course is to enlighten you to the geography, history, government, and economics of the state in which you live. With that in mind, realize that this course is taught much like a high school course. The resources we use in class are on a higher level, the tests have been generated on a higher level, the workload is high school level and the requirements will be the similar to that of a freshman in high school. I hope that in addition to the subject matter that you will learn how to be a better student, learn more about yourself, and learn the dedication and pride that comes with achieving a long term goal.
