Hello,
I am both pleased and honored not only to be teaching Government, Geography and Economics but also for being your students' teacher. I believe that learning can and should be interesting, current and useful. I will embrace every opportunity to instill a love of learning through a range of different teaching modalities and schoolwork. Our class website is a great resource for both parents and students in keeping abreast of what is currently being taught, accessing resources, knowing what has been assigned and when assignments come due.
Aside from being a teacher my other interests include coaching football, gardening, all things 'Aggie' (Texas A&M), raising chickens, building construction, and the involvements of my children and grandchildren. This is not even the half of what my interests include, I love to learn.
I thank you for visiting our site and invite you to contact me via
gary.mehrtens@smusd.org or voice mail to(760-290-2555 ext. 3509) my school phone should you have any further questions. I look forward to an enjoyable and successful school year for your student.
Thank You!
