The classes I’ve had with Kisla have been EXCELLENT. He was my absolute most favorite teacher in high school and his classes are meant to really teach you the information, not just barely get you by. His teaching style is very entertaining and I still remember what I learned over 5 years ago from his classes! If you’re a student that puts in moderate effort at the very least, you’ll do well.

Mr. Kisla was an excellent teacher. He held students accountable and challenged you to do well. I enjoyed his lessons and learned an amazing amount about world and American history. Best teacher I’ve had, ever.
