Welcome to my website. This is my fourth year teaching at Millsap High School. I currently teach Pre-AP World History, AP Government and Economics, and Senior Government and Economics. I really enjoy teaching history and government. My goal is to make history, government, and economics fun and memorable for the students. I want them to relate the knowledge that they learn in history, government, and economics to their lives. Besides these three subjects, I have also taught World Geography, English, ESL, and Special Education at the high school. 

I originally started my teaching career in Georgia. While in Georgia, I taught 9th and 10th grade Literature. Before becoming a teacher, I was a technical writer and a newspaer reporter in Marshalltown, Iowa. 

Now, that you know about my professional life, I am going to share a little about my self personally. I have lived all over the United States -- South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, and Texas.

I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato, with a degree in Mass Communications in 1999. In 2002, I received my teaching degree from Georgia Southern University. I am a third generation teacher -- following in the footsteps of my grandmother and mother. 

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, photography, and traveling. I have traveled to over 20 states in the United States -- most recently to Arizona and New Mexico. I have also traveled to England, Scotland, France, Holland, and Brussels. 

I currrently live in Fort Worth with my cats -- Sunny, Callie, and Millie. 

Thank you for entrusting me with your child's education. Feel free to contact me at jtaylor@millsapisd.net.
