Polizos
Bio:

Greetings,  I am Thom Polizos.  This is my first year with Jefferson Academy and I will be teaching Grade 11 Western Civilization, Grade 12 Geography and Economics along with Grade 10 US History.
I earned my BA in Political Science and History from Rutgers University and my M.Ed in Secondary Education.
I have been an educator for nearly two decades.  Aside from teaching in CO, I have taught in college preparatory private schools in the Asia, Africa and Europe. 

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time on mountains, rivers and listening to podcasts.
