Welcome to Stromer's World of History!


Spiral, Horizontal Line Spinning

Hi! I'm Mr. Stromer and I teach Washington State Studies and World Geography. I became interested in history as a boy, listening to my grandparents and parents tell stories of the Great Depression and World War II. I believe the subjects of math and science are the mind of education, languages and the arts are the heart, P.E. is the body, and history is the soul. History is not a list of names and dates, but a collection of real human memories. History is also how one interprets the past and this is why I believe it is the most important subject a student can learn. In history, two plus two doesn't always equal four. History can be as mysterious as the future and in my classes, we will revel in the mystery of history. Welcome!

Washington State Studies and World Geography students will be required to complete a final individual out-of-class project that will be presented to the class during the latter part of the semester. Detailed information will be handed out during the 3rd week of the semester. General information can be found by clicking "Projects/Due Dates" above.

Mr. Stromer's Mission:

Tacking Down a Memo

I will instill a feeling of self worth in my students. I will create an atmosphere where each student feels safe, challenged, and important. My students will laugh outloud every day they are in my class. My students will be equipped with the desire to continually "raise the bar" in their own lives through my efforts of continually doing the same for them while they're here.
