ABOUT SOCIAL STUDIES

We emphasize the importance of Civil Discourse in connection to our Catholic values through the guidelines of the USCCB’s (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) “Faithful Citizenship."

We offer AP United States History and AP United States Government and Politics / AP Micro Economics with a focus on personal finance. Placement into AP US History is determined by the teacher’s examination of student work.

Students participate in a Mock Trial Simulation and attend museum visits for enrichment. Seniors create a capstone project at the end of their four years. The project is run through English, Religion, and Social Studies classes. Through this project, students reflect on influences, values, and decisions they have made, and craft a vision for their future.

All seniors take AP United States Government / AP Microeconomics and Politics to challenge and build students’ understanding of the United States government and prepare for active engagement in civic life.
