My name is Kevin Kirk and I'm a 43-year-old Social Studies teacher at Danville Public Schools. I've taught at O.T. Bonner Middle School and E.A. Gibson Middle School for a total of 18 years. I received my Bachelor of History and a minor in Psychology from the University of Tennessee and my Master's of Teaching Theory in Social Studies Education at the University of Tennessee's Education Graduate Program. have endorsements in Histoy, Social Studies, and Gifted Education. I spent most of my time growing up in Kentucky and later in the mountain of Tennessee and moved to Danville, Virginia after I graduated. I enjoy the outdoors (hiking and camping) and live music.

My teaching career began at South Doyle High School in Knoxville, TN, teaching Psychology and United States History to 11th graders before taking a job at E.A. Gibson Middle School teaching 7th grade United States History. I love to study History, Politics, and Economics. And I also enjoy playing guitar, live music, hiking, and camping. My wife is a school counselor in Person County, NC and we have four children. Two attend Danville Public Schools and one is a student at the University of Virginia. I look forward to working with all my students this year and hope they a lifelong love of learning in my social studies class.
