Welcome to the US History 2 homepage and syllabus! Our US2 class in entirely online, utilizing Schoology.com and Google Drive.
US History II engages the student in the study of United States history beginning with American Western Expansion and spanning though World War II. A host of broad themes from American history will provide the focus for the course: global relations, Constitutional heritage, democratic values, technology and society, cultural and geographic diversity, and economics. These themes will provide the context for the historical events we discuss, and in turn help us relate the past to today’s relevant social, political and economic concerns.

Grades are synced from Schoology to PowerSchool AT LEAST ONCE per week.
PowerSchool grades are MORE ACCURATE than Schoology grades.
MISSING or OVERDUE ASSIGNMENTS are marked as ZERO in PowerSchool.
If an assignment does not have a score in PowerSchool:
