The study of people, their governments, and their cultures is an essential part of the American educa- tional system. Our high school presents a variety of courses in these fields.

There are two different history classes available to Lindsay High students. Cne is a required course in United States history for juniors. World history is an elective Course Open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, although the majority are sophomores. The senior problems class has done cr variety of X-. A things this year.
