Some of the templates require you to take more social studies in your senior year than you need to graduate. You must take Government but may or may not need to take the second semester of Social Studies. You can take additional social studies if you want. But if you don’t like to take extra Social Studies, please fill in or add an extra line (Line 7) to your schedule and leave the social studies section blank.
In the end, this is what is required. You need 3.0 Social Studies credits to graduate.
1.0 World History (Typically taken in 10th grade and prefilled)
1.0 U.S. History (Typically taken in 11th and prefilled)
0.5 credits of Government (Typically taken in 12th and prefilled)
