Bill Nara
Bill Nara brings to Summer Academy eight years of experience as a Social Studies teacher. Four of those years were spent as an Advanced Placement World History teacher at Columbia Heights High School. Prior to teaching, he worked ten years as a cartographer, making topographic maps and analyzing aerial photography. He has run many Strategy Board Game and Chess Clubs in District 621. “As a youth I always enjoyed games, aircraft, recreating famous battles, and studying maps. As an adult I studied aerospace engineering, and geography. First I became a cartographer and later a history teacher. Now I enjoy passing on my knowledge to others through hands-on simulations. I am looking forward to my seventh year at the Academy.”
