Preserving Pompeii 

My name is Dr. Rhett Oldham, and I teach 7th Grade American History II and 8th Grade World History.  I have a real passion for history and want my students to understand how fun learning about history can be.
I have been teaching for 21 years at various levels.  I have taught in high school, college, and middle school, and I find that all students want to learn if given something that they can get excited about.
Ste Genevieve is a great place to teach and a wonderful place to learn.
