How does our collective history influence us today?

The study of History and the Social Sciences promote enlightened and responsible citizenship. The History and Social Science scope and sequence exposes students to the major disciplines of history, geography, economics, political science, psychology, civics, and sociology. Within these disciplines, each student will be challenged and supported to demonstrate mastery in historical thinking skills. Using 1:1 devices, students will learn to develop strong, independent research skills, collaborative skills through group discussions and projects, and creative content based on inquiry projects.
