Social Studies Why is youth in rebellion? Are the lines between capitalism and Communism blurring? What has man achieved in his evolution through the centuries? These are some of the vital issues that our social Studies classes consider each day. Through the study of civilization students learn to think, to evaluate, to determine, to interpret, and to apply knowledge to the solution of everyday human problems. Course offerings such as Law in Action. Sociology. Psychology, and Labor studies prepare students to be active, aware citizens Mary Row-son and Nelson Valentin received special recognition for city-wide Student Council membership.
