LENDING A HELPING HAND. Cc( il Vcisque helps nut d trou bled Marcus Gracey. Teachers are always there to help when you need it. Charleen Peasce History: Is if repeated? ; It was an intense moment that many awaited for a long time. The whiteness of the pa- per, how new it all looked. The writing written with such neat- ness. Men all around the room anxious for the moment, signed, one by one on the pa- per which gave us all a new direction in life, it was the Dec- laration of Independence. History always taught me about the past. I enjoyed reliving the events that made it historical. Senior Chandra Theis said. This past year students, as well as teachers, were able to have the history classes closer together which made it easier for both. All the history classes are found in the same module which makes it much easier for us teachers. Coach Lang- ston Williams said. Studying history has always been a way to escape the real world and go into another time and place. History is found all over the world in dif- ferent places which students have been able to find out. Trips all over the world were arranged for students who might enjoy finding out more into depth the history. Taking these trips will fur- ther knowledge a student on what that place is and was all about. Coach Williams said. Every year a history fair is held and many students went to state. The History Depart- ment thinks up a theme in which they want their students to develop their projects from. They are Judged and then go on from tfiere. Being in the History Fair taught me a lot about the topic I was writing on: it ' s a fun thing to experience whether you make it all the way to state or not. Chris Markle said. Taking History is a require- ment in school, and it is a very worthwhile one. Todd Cielencki academics: dcadjt-m c ACADEMICS Acadeh-cs History Department by Melissa Sargent .
