About+Me

WHO AM I?  {Brittany and I in NYC} Well... first off, my name is Benjamin James McGugin, but that's Mr. McGugin to my students. It is my hope that this wikispace will serve as a good resource for my class, as I teach Civics & Economics at Page High School. This is my 3rd year of teaching at the high school level, completing my first year at Life Skills High School in Akron, Ohio. Prior to that teaching position, I received my undergraduate degree in history at Kent State University in the spring of 2010. Then, I attended the University of Akron working as a graduate assistant in academic support services, specifically assisting student-athletes. Upon graduation in May of 2012, I receive my master of science in curriculum and instruction, licensure in adolescent to young adults integrated social studies. In my free time I enjoy sports, both watching and attempting to play, and spending time relaxing with my wife Brittany.
