I am from the OKC metro area, and hold licenses in U.S. History,
Oklahoma History, Government & Economics (6-12) Middle Level
Social Studies (5-8) and Middle Level English/Language Arts (5-8)I
have dual license. I'm considering going back to school and going
through the traditional way even though I already have a B.S degree.
