High School Social Studies Teacher Adam Norris Details How He Became a Youtube Celebrity
Adam Norris is a Maryvale High School, AP US History teacher. Maryvale High School is located near Buffalo New York, and Adam has been teaching there since 2006. Over the years, he’s become known as both an outstanding US History teacher and as someone who since, 2013 has produced an ever-increasing number of high quality, 3-5 minute youtube videos designed to teach AP US history students everywhere what they need to know to pass the annual exam. For the production of these videos, Adam has become enormously popular. I would even go so far as to say that Adam has become every A.P. U.S. History student’s best friend.

Adam appears on this episode of Titan Talk to primarily detail how and why he became such a popular youtube content delivery celebrity. He also describes how and why he became a high school US History teacher. And towards the end of the podcast, he share his thoughts regarding all the changes that the College Board brought to the world of AP US History this past summer.
