Susie Gerard
European History
My name is Susie Gerard, and I am a history teacher at Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane, Washington. I have been teaching at Lewis and Clark for 23 years, and have taught AP* European History for 22. I graduated with a degree in History from the honors program at Gonzaga University in 1984 and earned a MAT in education and history in 1987. Since that time, I have earned over 120 quarter hours in my subject area. I have been a reader of AP* European history exams since 1996 and a table leader for six years. I have taught AP* workshops and summer institutes since 1998. I was chosen as the 1998 VFW teacher of the year and received an award from the Stratmore Foundation for educational leadership in the field of history in 2000. In 2001, I received a Gates Foundation Teacher Leadership Grant which provided me with a computer lab and projection system for my classroom. In 2004, I received the Spokane Public Schools Distinguished Teacher Award. I am currently a technology mentor for my district in the field of curriculum development, and I am also teaching several district online courses. I enjoy reading, fishing, hiking, and music and am very involved in family activities with my husband and three children. I look forward to meeting and working with each one of you.
