Introduction: Hello and welcome to my webpage! My name is Mark Hertz and this is my eighth-year teaching at Lemon Bay High School. I have been in the education profession for 18 years teaching many subjects at different levels. I am primarily an English teacher, holding a Masters Degree in English with an emphasis Teaching Writing. Before Lemon Bay, I taught at L.A. Ainger Middle School here in Englewood, eight years at Six Rivers Charter High School in Arcata, a small rural town on the north coast of California, Freshmen Composition at Humboldt State University, and Humanities at Academy of the Redwoods in Eureka, CA. I have also been an adjunct professor at Florida SouthWestern State College, teaching ENC 1101 and 1102.

I love the outdoors and sports. My favorite football team is the Las Vegas Raiders and my favorite baseball team is the Los Angeles Dodgers. I am the coach of the Lemon Bay High School Boys Varsity Soccer Team and coach the U12 Englewood Chaos competitive soccer team. I am a father of two amazing boys, and my wife and I love living in southwest Florida! I look forward to a successful and rewarding year!

Webpage: I have designed my web page to provide parents and students with the information needed to be successful in class. In the unfortunate event your child is sick or must say home, I want to make sure they will have access to the lesson plans and assignments. Lesson plans will always be posted to this web page, and assignments are available on Canvas, the Districts Learning Management System. You can access Canvas through your students CCPS Classlink account.

Remind Codes: I will use the remind app to notify students and parents of important due dates, assignments, tests, and other events. Remind codes should be populated automatically. However, here are the codes for each class (by period):

Period 1 AICE General Paper: @297b6d79be

Period 2 AICE General Paper: @43g9c8dkbc

Period 3 AICE General Paper: @g4b3agbadc

Period 4 AICE General Paper: @8k34a3dk3a

Period 5 AICE General Paper: @3aekhca87c

Period 6 AICE General Paper: @9f98kc24c7

Period 7 AICE General Paper: @d7cec774ac

Lesson Plans: Lesson plans will be uploaded to this site on a weekly basis so students and parents will have outline of assignments completed each day in class. I will also post weekly lesson plans on the board in my classroom. Students can easily take a picture of them every Monday as another reference/reminder.
