Mr. James Heck – MS Social Studies Team 207

This is my third year teaching Middle School Social Studies at Christ King School. I have a great love and passion for American History, Social Studies, Current Events and Politics. I tell my students that they learn Social Studies for three reasons. First - to appreciate their heritage; second – to insure that the mistakes of the past are not repeated; and third – to become patriotic citizens. I have high expectations of my students, an enthusiastic, make learning fun and establish a strong foundation for my students in Social Studies. I am Student Council advisor at Christ King and look forward in planning and leading the eighth grade class trip to Washington D.C. each May.


I am happy to be teaching here at Christ King School and an always eager to challenge my students to do their best in school and in life. I always remind my students what Thomas Jefferson said many years ago to a letter to John Adams. “The promise of America is not in the history of the past but in the future.” I challenge my students to work for justice, peace and to make a difference in their world by standing up for what is right. They are the future of America.
