Mrs. Catherine Hall

Welcome to 7th grade and get ready to be INCREDIBLE and SMASH the Civics EOC! I'm Mrs. Hall and I'm excited to be your teacher this year. I am a graduate of the University of Florida. This year will be my 25th year teaching at Howard Middle School. It's crazy to think about, but I have officially spent more than 50% of my entire life at Howard Middle School! In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. I am also an amateur genealogist with roots here in Marion County that go back six generations.

 

You may ask yourself, why do we study Civics? According to James Madison, our 4th president and the father of the Constitution: "A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to Farce or Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."
