 BIG GOAL!

We are ready to take on a college preparatory curriculum and trounce the TAKS!

  1. All students will pass the TAKS test at the end of the year, proving their mastery of social studies content.

  2. All students will average a 3 or higher (out of 5) on Document-Based Questions and in-class essays.

  3. All students will be able to complete one research project per semester.  For the second project, they will all give a 5-minute class presentation that details their project’s historical relevance.

  4. All students will meet or exceed their individual social studies goals that they set for themselves.
