Social Studies instruction in Millard Public Schools prepares students to become engaged citizens in local, national, and global societies. Students learn to ask important questions, determine helpful sources of information, consider a topic from multiple perspectives, and use content knowledge to communicate their understanding of Civics, Economics, History, and Geography.
We achieve state and district standards using materials that have gone through a thorough vetting process and have been approved by the Millard Board of Education.
