Welcome to Mr. Rich's United States History Course 2021 - 2022!

I am truly excited and hopeful for the enormous possibilities and opportunities for learning we will experience this year. For many of our students who are returning to Bishop Hall, WELCOME BACK! For the many students who are taking the first steps of their journey at Bishop Hall WELCOME!  

As I echo the words of Dr. John Henrik Clarke, “History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are, but more importantly, what they must be.” My greatest hope for you this year, is that you will engage in the study of history to learn from our past and anticipate "a more perfect future" and that you will become scholars of history!
