Social Studies

The Social Studies Department offers a program of studies which provides courses devoted to the study of human experiences in a historic, political, economic, social and geographic context. The courses offer students an opportunity to study United States History and society as well as the history and cultures of other peoples. Three Social Studies credits are required for graduation from RHAM High School and must include United States History and Civics.

The AP Capstone Program, which includes AP Seminar and AP Research are also available as part of our offerings. AP Seminar satisfies a humanities credit, while AP Research could satisfy humanities or STEM, depending on the topic of research pursued.
