About Mr. Bohle:

One of my favorite things to do is work with High School students to help them understand the world around them in Social Studies classes. I learn so much from these young people as I teach them. I find a lot to admire from my students, even the ones that struggle in school. I also like to play music, be outdoors and watch movies. I am lucky to have a fantastic and supportive family. I can speak a bit of Spanish and enjoy traveling every now and then.
