Exciting Learning Happening in Our Social Studies Classrooms!
Our students have been diving into some fascinating topics and real-world experiences across grade levels!
8th Grade Social Studies:
Students are exploring the Roaring 20s, a time of major social, political, and economic change in the United States. Up next, they’ll examine how this era came to an abrupt halt with the Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression of the 1930s.
AP U.S. History (APUSH):
Our APUSH students are in the middle of their final sprint toward the May 2026 AP Exam! Preparation includes analyzing historical documents, photographs, political writings, and data to develop strong arguments and historical connections. From practicing Document-Based Questions (DBQs) to collaborating on digital study tools, students are sharpening their critical thinking skills while reviewing 500 years of American history. Their hard work now could even translate into college credit in the future!
BUSN 1055:
Students recently attended a professional attire presentation from the Store Manager at Kohl’s and participated in a career panel at CMOG, gaining valuable insight into workplace expectations and career pathways.
Global Studies Honors:
• Freshmen recently read an autobiography about a young girl who grew up under Taliban rule in Afghanistan and the story of her family’s escape.
• Sophomores are currently reading an autobiography of a girl who lived during Mao Zedong’s Communist regime, connecting their learning to the unit on Marxism, Communism, and the Cold War.
Participation in Government (Seniors):
Students recently received their own pocket U.S. Constitution as they begin analyzing the articles and amendments that form the foundation of our nation’s government.
AP Government:
Students are exploring the civil liberties protected by the Bill of Rights, examining important Supreme Court cases and how the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause has helped apply these rights across the states.

💙 Why It Matters

Many children don’t have a regular dentist — and routine checkups help prevent:
🛑 Painful cavities
🛑 Unnecessary tooth loss
🛑 Long wait times for treatment
🛑 Emergency dental visits
