History serves as a great explanation for all things why and how. We look to history for answers to explain our world and the present-day circumstances it exhibits. Through an examination of the past, we can better undertsand our present and even more so, prepare for the future.

"2020 was a historical year; one with many trials and tribulations, yet humanity has existed far longer and experienced even greater moments in the past. We’re excited to start this journey with you all! In World History we will study the historical development of people, places, and patterns of life from the very first civilization to the present in efforts to:

- Better Understand yourselves and others

- Build empathy by understanding different cultures, historical struggles, and difficult current events

- Understand the different groups, cultures, and identities that makeup and contribute to our global society

- To understand the rise and fall of great and minor civilizations and the influence of these civilizations on future generations.

- To understand the impact one person, one idea can have on a country and on the world

- World History helps you see the world around you in a new way.

- To understand who you are you need to know where you came from. If you don't study history it will repeat itself. The wonders of the world can be revealed from the study of history. Improvement comes from understanding what history tells us about a topic

Join us as we learn about the past in order to create a better understanding of our present, and prepare for the future."

"This class is fun and engaging." Very different from the other classes."

What I loved about World History was meeting other students who had an interest in learning events of the past that helped shape our society today. Our teacher also dressed up as different characters which made the learning process fun - Alexandra

I like World History because it allows me to learn about past mistakes/events so that I can do my best to make sure that our generation doesn't follow that same path.

In order to help students understand history, they are often given opportunities to experience the past - this includes re-enactments in full costume, challenging games and investigations, and thorough research projects into the past. I often feel it is important that a course be entertaining and educational in order to have the best effect.
