Welcome to our classroom.
I hope you find it to be a place to learn, but also a space that feels calm and safe for everyone. While I hope you come to have the same curiosity for history as I do, it’s my primary goal to make history approachable and accessible for all students.
To this end, you will find that my teaching is a blend of my history education, documents and artifacts that speak to us, and perspectives from around the world.
This is my fifth year teaching at Dulles High. I am a graduate of Dulles myself and have had the pleasure of working and learning alongside incredible people of all walks of life at one of FBISD’s highest achieving schools.
Familiarize yourself with the syllabus below, and please feel free to reach me at my email or classroom phone with any questions or concerns.
Best wishes,
Ms. Casasola

The course is built around three enduring ideas to create an engaging and relevant social studies course:
Geography is an interrelated exploration of the world.
The course explores the invisible structures and forces that shape and reflect the regions, communities, governments, economies, and cultures of humanity.
Geography is inherently dynamic.
This course teaches students how to examine evolving sources and data, establish inferences, and ultimately build and critique arguments that challenge previous arguments.
Geographers are investigators.
Students will play the role of geographers by practicing the detective skills and using the tools of each field of study.

Limited supplies will be made available for the students that need them.
