MOHHC Teacher Fellows will facilitate multiple sessions centered on the following topics: Ancient Civilizations, Middle Ages, Civil War, WWII, Korean War, Civil Rights, and the Global War on Terror.

Did you knowâť“

On October 3, 2009, Staff Sergeant Clint Romesha awoke to the sound of battle. An estimated 300 Taliban fighters were attacking from the high ground surrounding Combat Outpost Keating in eastern Afghanistan.

Romesha rallied his comrades to protect the wounded and the fallen, and when the enemy breached the perimeter, he led a counterattack and called in air support. His actions throughout the day-long fight were critical in securing the outpost.
