My name is Nick Chastain and I am originally from Tallahassee, Florida. This is my first year teaching Georgia Studies, and I absolutely love it! I spent eight long years as an Internet sales manager at a car dealership. Although I value the experience, education, and relationships that I acquired during this time, I finally feel like I have found my calling in life... teaching. When I am not at school, I love to travel (we recently got back from Washington D.C.), fish, hunt, golf, BBQ, watch Florida State football, and cut grass. I have been married to the love of my life almost ten years, and we have two beautiful dogs. Tucker is an old English Bulldog and Lucy is a Cocker Spaniel.  When I am barbequing, I am a complete Egghead! I have two big green eggs that I can cook just about anything on... from Boston butt, whole turkeys, steaks,... even pizza!

                                

    Georgia Studies is a course all eighth grade students must take. Although this is my first year teaching it, my co-teacher Ms. Lori Myers has been teaching this class for eight years. My undergraduate degree is in Political Science with an emphasis on Public Administration. Between the two of us, we have a wealth of information that should make this one of your favorite classes this year! Our lessons are designed to be fun, fast paced, and above all educational. Many of the standards we teach are covered in video form here. Lori and I work well together, and we are both available before school, during lunch, or after school to ensure that all of our students are completely comfortable with the content of this course.
