About Mr. Alexander Holmes
I have been teaching AP World History: Modern, On-Level World History, and prior On-Level US American History at Stone Mountain High School since 2011. I graduated in 2010 from the University of Georgia Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Arts in History and completed my Senior Thesis entitled Nuclear Fallout and Popular Protest. I completed my teacher certification through the GaTAPP Program within the DeKalb County School District in 2015 and took Master's courses in Arts of Teaching Social Studies Secondary at Relay Graduate School of Education in 2022-2023. I subscribe to a revisionist and anti-racist approach when it comes to the teaching and learning of History as an academic discipline. In the 2023-2024 school year I was awarded the STAR Teacher award. I was the Head Coach for Stone Mountain HS Varsity/JV Boys & Girls Soccer between 2012 to 2021 and reached the region/county playoffs multiple times.
