Welcome to US History for the 2025-2026 school year.  Our curriculum, as always, is driven by the Texas Essential Skills and Knowledge (otherwise known as TEKS) formed by the Texas Education Association (TEA).  This course follows the history of the United States from its origins through Reconstruction. The primary purpose of this course is to give students an opportunity to learn and gain knowledge about the history of America from colonial exploration through Reconstruction. This will be accomplished through the geographic, economic, political, and social developments that shaped our nation. Attaining knowledge of major concepts, their sequence in history, and analyzing decisions made using a historical perspective, are some of the key skills we will be working on in this class.
