  At San Luis Obispo High School, new teachers are always a welcome addition to the staff. Among the many people deciding to teach here at SLOHS, a new teacher has been added to the social studies roster: Josiah Cameron. 

  Expressions gathered some information about Cameron and his experiences at SLOHS during his first seven weeks.

Expressions: What are your thoughts on the school’s rallies?

Social Sciences teacher Josiah Cameron: They’re fantastic! I love the energy. Shout out to the sophomore class for a dominant display at the first rally!

Expressions: What made you want to teach at SLOHS?

Cameron: I was born in SLO, raised in Los Osos, and graduated from Morro Bay High. I taught in LA for fourteen years, but after my son was born, I decided to move back home to be closer to family. And as much as I love Los Osos, after living in LA, I just can’t deal with the fog anymore, so SLOHS was my first choice because of the weather.

Expressions: In your class, how productive are your students? 

Cameron: In general, my students are eager to learn and very productive.

Expressions: What is your definition of social sciences? 

Cameron: Social science is the study of human social interactions.

Expressions: Lastly, compared to other schools, what makes SLOHS special?

Cameron: I honestly haven’t been at SLOHS long enough to say. It’s a great school though – very happy to be here!

Cameron is a wonderful new teacher here at school, and is doing a great job for his class and community.
