Welcome to Middle School Social Studies!

My name is Eric Scheib and I am new to Saint Theresa School for the 2022-23 school year. I am excited to be part of the school community and the tradition of Saint Theresa. This will be my 25th year in education. I have worked in a variety of roles and school systems over the years and am excited to get back to where I started - the middle school classroom. 

I live locally and am married to my wonderful wife Aly and have a son, Drew, who is in high school. We have two tuxedo cats named Huck and Finn. I enjoy spending time with my family and cheering on the Hershey Bears. 

In social studies, we will be covering World Geography in 6th grade. We will learn about lands across the globe and here in the United States. In 7th and 8th grade, students will learn United States History - focusing on discovery through the Civil War reconstruction in 7th and from westward expansion to the 21st century in 8th grade. My focus is always on the big ideas and learning how to learn and think. Students will be tasked to read, write, think, and speak throughout the course. In addition, students will be asked to take on more responsibility and become more independent learners.
