Welcome. I am your resident historian, Pete Lagusis. As a graduate of Appalachian State University, I majored in History, Multidisciplinary Studies with minors in Political Science, Philosophy, and Africana Studies. Aside from being a historian, I enjoy exploring and immersing myself in philosophy and educational texts that enrich both myself and my students. I am married with three sons, two of whom are college students. I have coached basketball and baseball for over 15 years as well as having played college basketball. Whether it is coaching , teaching, or mentoring, all aspects of our lives have a history. As a historian, my hope is to bring history to life for all my students. When I am not teaching, coaching, or spending time with family, I am usually reading a book, playing a round of golf or exploring the great outdoors.
