Welcome to US History and the Constitution. This is an EOC course and is a graduation requirement of the State of South Carolina. We have 80 days before the EOC, and we will be focusing greatly on giving you the best opportunity for success on that exam. The course will cover American History from the Colonial period to our contemporary era. That's a lot to cover in 80 days! We meet daily in 2nd block (CP) and 1st block (Honors) in room 133. Both Honors and CP courses follow the same pacing, due to EOC requirements (the assignments may look a little different between the two groups).Â
