Mr. Mogg

Mr. Mogg, 6th grade Social Studies Teacher KIPP GCP

It’s hard to talk about myself without mentioning those who have inspired  challenged, and taught me along the way. I wouldn’t be who I am today without those who have influenced me.

I am originally from a small town located in the utmost northern end of California.  I went to college at Humboldt State University (Famous for its inspiration to Stephen Hillenbug, the cartoonist of Sponge Bob Square Pants). My professors at Humboldt inspired me to work hard and engage my educational experience. There is a special place in my heart for those great educators who make history come alive.
