Welcome to Mr. Carpenter's Social Studies page!!

I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona.  I became a Social Studies teacher in 2005.  I taught in Phoenix for 6 years before moving to St. Louis.  I have been teaching for St. Louis Public Schools since 2014, and at Nahed Chapman since 2016.  I love the diversity of our school community and enjoy learning from my students as much as they learn from me.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education, with an emphasis in History, from Arizona State University and am currently working towards a master's degree at Webster University in Teaching English as a Second Language.

I love teaching middle schoolers and building relationships is the foundation of my teaching philosophy.  I subscribe to the saying "students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care".
