Social Studies Department

Social Studies focuses on lifelong learning to understand, analyze, react to, and act upon the relationships between people and their environments in time and space. Social Studies provides opportunities that develop knowledge and skills which enable students to grow in: (1) personal and civic responsibilities; (2) perspectives that allow students to see themselves as a part of a larger human experience; (3) critical understanding of history, geography, economics, political and social institutions, traditions and civic virtues in America and the world; (4) thinking analytically and applying to concepts learned.

Minimum graduation requirements for social studies include: (1) two credits in United States History, (2) one credit in United States Government, and (3) one additional social studies course related to citizenship.
