Welcome to Mr. Welchptak's 8th grade Social Studies class at Miller Middle School. This is my 11th year teaching, all of which have been here at Miller Middle School. I graduated from Texas State University. I have three kiddos, two boys (16 and 5 years old) and one girl (3 years old). I love the beach and traveling all over the world to get to them. I am also a die hard Cubs, Bulls, and Patriots fan. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, playing sports, traveling, and hitting the links. I look forward to pushing your student to have a successful year in my class.
