Social Studies
The Social Studies Department believes that America’s binding heritage is a democratic vision of liberty, equality, and justice. To preserve this vision and bring it into daily practice, students learn how American history was shaped by events and forces that either helped or obstructed it, and how it has evolved into the circumstances of our time. Students also explore the diverse cultural heritage of the world’s many peoples for a comprehensive study of history. This knowledge is essential for informed judgment, responsible democratic citizenship, and respect for the dignity of all individuals.
