    Hi,

    Welcome to my webpage! 

    I have taught at Maryvale High School for 17 years.  Before teaching at Maryvale, I taught Language Arts and Social Studies at Isaac Middle School for seven years.  I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and a Master of Curriculum and Instruction in English as a Second Language from Arizona State University (Sun Devils RULE).  I am also accredited in English.  Currently, I am teaching Honors U.S. History, On-level U.S History, and U.S./A.Z./Latinx History.  Some of my favorite hobbies include archaeology, horticulture, scuba diving, sailing, and traveling.  

    I have traveled extensively to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, China, Russia, Romania, Hungary, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, France (2x's), Italy (3x's), England (3x's), Greece (2x's), Turkey, Kenya (2x's), Tanzania, Bahrain, Oman, Canada (4x's), Mexico (7x's), Costa Rica, and Cuba.  I use my experiences to enhance the curriculum.   

    I also sponsor the Environmental Action and Research for Tomorrow's Habitat (E.A.R.T.H.) Club.  Please visit that webpage for more information about our club activities and meeting times. 

    This webpage has several options to click from in order to gain more insight into U.S. History and the EARTH Club.  Please familiarize yourself with the links on the left.    

    I am located in room 505 from 7:30 to 3:30.  

    I hope we have a great year together!
     
    Respectfully,
     
    Chris Turner
