COURSE OBJECTIVE:

The objective for this school year is to gain a more full understanding of the world we live in, with a specific emphasis on history. History is simply the recorded events of the past, but it has a tendency to become too complex and intimidating. Our goal this year is to keep history simple and exciting, while at the same time understanding that all the complexities of the past are very important to us today.

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS: Part of my job as a teacher is to accessible to students and parents if they need something for my class. I am usually at school by 7:15 AM and do not usually leave until around 3:30 PM. Please let me know when and how I can assist you throughout this school year.

Hello,

My name is Jonathan White, and I am thrilled to be teaching World History in the Freshman Academy at Hibriten High School. This begins my ninth year as a teacher, all of which I have spent here at HHS. I am from Taylorsville, NC, but have been able to call much of the country my home at various points in the past as my dad is a preacher, and I spent a short stint in the Army. I am married to a former HHS graduate, Jenny Greene, and we have a little girl named Leah Rae. I graduated from Alexander Central High School in 1992, and received my Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Appalachian State University in 2002 and 2006.
