In the H building in room 105, Mr. Stuckey shapes the minds of the future teaching both Modern World History and yearbook.

However, he wasn’t always a teacher. Before coming to Mount Pisgah, he worked at AT&T and wrote a novel about his uncle who served in World War 2. 

You could say storytelling and history has always been a part of his life because history is one big ongoing story. If one person decides to do something different in the story, it changes everything. 

“If Garello Princip decides that he doesn’t want coffee and instead wants to go to a restaurant, he’s not there when Archduke Franz Fernidand pulls in so he’s not there to shoot him, and we don’t have World War 1,” said Stuckey. “That one little thing completely changes the whole scope of the 20th century. And that’s why I love history.” 

He keeps his class modern by using videos, activities and feedback from his students to help keep the information applicable to high schoolers in today’s day and age. 

“Mr. Stuckey relates to his students. He always makes his Google Slides fun and likes hearing his students’ opinions. I love that he takes our thoughts and applies to his class,” said sophomore Gabe Morgan.

Mr. Stuckey has been at Mount Pisgah for a year and a half, and appealed to his students with his use of memes on his slideshows. 

“I love the opportunity to interact and develop relationships while getting to do what I love at the same time,” said Stuckey. 

So, next time you find yourself in the H Building, be sure to stop by and say hi to Mr. Stuckey and play some chess while you’re at it.
