7th and 8th Grade
Welcome to Mr. Gainey's Middle School History Website
Greetings all!
For those of you whom I have not met, I have been the D.C.S. middle school history teacher for the past 5 years. Before my time at D.C.S., I graduated from Niagara University with a master's in history, and I have been a teacher for over 7 years now. This year I am very excited to continue educating our 7th and 8th grade students in both American and World history and sharing what I have learned throughout my years of study. I am always reachable by the contact information below, and I greatly look forward to meeting and working with each and every one of you. Let's have a great year and push these young adolescents to challenge themselves to gain a deeper understanding of this overwhelmingly diverse world that we live in!
