The Social Studies Department gives students an opportunity to learn more about the economic and political world in which they live. Classes such as Modern World History, U.S. History and U.S. Government familiarize students with past and current history and give students an understanding of their roots in time. Economics and Sociology bring students more up-to-date on the money-and-people-puzzles which are part and parcel of 20th Century American life. The department has undertaken some unusual projects in order to make the student body more aware of our nation’s 200th birthday. Several showcase displays in the main hall, a colonial bake sale, and a variety of skits during the Bicentennial Week assembly brought enjoyment to all. TOP: History X, taught by the combined efforts of Miss Trapane and Mrs. Weiss, provides Juniors with the chance to explore American historical events on a new accelerated level. CENTER: Sociology offers Seniors a better understanding of groups in society, their structure and behavior.
