Social Studies

Our Vision

We envision a future where students are enthused about the opportunities that social studies provide for academic enrichment and civic engagement. Students are energized by inquiry-based learning environments that allow for a high degree of student choice and promote efficacy both in and out of the classroom. Students will be more inquisitive, more critically thoughtful, and more equipped to make a positive impact in their communities.

Our Mission

Our mission to develop students into inquisitive, confident, and empathetic life-long learners. We equip students to think critically about the world around them, cultivate their own agency to affect positive change, and engage civilly as they influence and lead others. Our department believes in a student-centered, inquiry-oriented approach to education.
