Welcome to Mr. Zimmerman's 8th Grade South Carolina History Class
Hello. My name's Mr. Zimmerman, and I will be teaching South Carolina History this year. This is my ninth year teaching (and 7th at CASC). I have lived in and near Charleston, SC since 2000, where I attended The College of Charleston and The Citadel. Before that, I grew up near Spartanburg, South Carolina. I am married and have 3 kids. I love the ocean and the coast, and also love music and reading. I think that history is the most important thing that you can study. Why? Because it helps us to understand our world, ourselves, and where we fit in. It also helps to create a well informed and socially aware citizenry, which is absolutely vital to a functioning democracy. I look forward to working with you this year as we learn how much history there is to discover all around us and make this a great school year.
