My name is Tracy Murray, and I have been a member of the LHS faculty since 2000.  I started my teaching career at LHS and have never wanted to teach anywhere else. In my years at LHS, I have taught Survey US History, AP US History, Modern World History, and various directed studies courses.  I currently teach Ancient World History and AP European History.  I am also the current Social Studies Department Chair.   I hold a BS in secondary education and an MSE in Curriculum and Instruction. I earned both of my degrees at The University of Kansas.  I love what I do because daily I get to learn from my students.  Daily they challenge me to think about the world in new ways, and I hope I do the same for them.  My appreciation and love of history continually expose me to new ideas and information, and I sincerely appreciate that opportunity. Hermann Hesse once said, “To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.”

Google Classroom- I have sent an invite to each student so they may join their Google Classroom.  We will exam the classroom together during our first Webex meeting.
