About Mr. Ermis
|
|
I am from the town of Modesto, California. I graduated from Johansen High School in 2001 where I initially got involved in the National FFA Organization. I had such an awesome time showing sheep and hogs, and participating in various Career Development Events that I never wanted to leave. Hence, I decided to become an Ag Teacher. I started my post secondary education at an amazing place known as Modesto Junior College (MJC). After three years, I had a box full of experiences in judging livestock, hosting FFA Field Day's and participating in speaking events. I transfered from there to California State University, Chico in the summer of 2004 with further aspirations to teach High School. I had a distinct opportunity to Judge livestock and demonstrate other skills that I had gained from MJC. Before I graduated I was honored to be accepted to the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Davis. After finally graduating with my BS in Agriculture Education I moved to Sacramento and was fortunate enough to land a position student teaching at Dixon High School. At the end of my student teaching year I was excited to apply for many different positions and start interviewing. I decided on Davis Senior High School because of the opportunities for me to affect the students as much as I knew they could affect me.
