Hello! My name is Jaimie Lartin and I teach 8th Grade United States History at Hal Peterson Middle School. History has always been my biggest passion in life, so I am lucky enough to do what I genuinely love every single day. I am from New York City originally where I got my Bachelors in Social Studies, and then my Masters in Social Studies Education. History is widely disliked by many students and adults alike, but it is my passion and joy to try inspire students to give history a chance. I genuinely care about each and every one of my students and want them to learn how to be stronger, kinder and more equipped for the world when leaving my class. I really love being part of the Kerrville community, but I actually live out in Bandera with my three handsome German Shepherds and my sweet cat, Lacey. I am really looking forward to this upcoming school year and can't wait to meet all of my new students!
