Meet The Teacher!
Mr. Ben Shope

I have been teaching for 3 years. I started my teaching career at SJHS. I have a bachelor's degree in History from East Tennessee State University. I am currently fininshing up my Grad degree from the University of Tennessee.
I have been assistant football coach at SJHS for the last 3 years where I am the defensive coordinator.
I love to travel and experience other cultures. I also enjoy watching spors. I am a Tennessee Vols and Atlanta Braves fan. I love teaching here because it has a hometown feel. I try to bring that joy into the classroom as we explore other parts of the world through the lense of history. I am super excited to be teaching your children.
