What exciting times to teach social studies! The recent changes in
world politics and national alignments, domestic issues concerning the
environment and morality, the influx of new immigrants, the war on
drugs--all should help make these courses meaningful and interesting.
It is each teacher's job to provide students with the background necessary
to understand these issues and the information needed to make some
personal decisions. The staff is committed to a broad-based curriculum using
speakers, video, group work, primary source materials, simulations,
and discussions. Through the study of the curriculum, students will
become excited about learning history, geography, government, and economics.
