Social Studies
The Social Studies Department at Marian High School 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, we teach students how American history was shaped by the past, what events and forces either helped or obstructed it, and how it has evolved down to the circumstances of our time. Our students also explore the diverse cultural heritage of the world’s many peoples, for a comprehensive study of history and people keeps our students in touch with these realities. Marian students are made aware that this knowledge is essential for informed judgment, responsible democratic citizenship, and respect for the dignity of all individuals.
