SOCIAL STUDIES

Students in Social Studies will prepare to become informed and engaged participants in civic life.

The mission of the Social Studies Department is for students to learn and apply essential concepts, content, and skills of the four major disciplines in social studies—civics, economics, geography, and history. Elements of these four disciplines are found in all social studies courses so that students will develop a better understanding of themselves, their country, their own culture, other individuals, and other cultures of the world. The goal of this curriculum is to prepare students for the challenges of college and career as well as a thorough preparation for civic life.
