History And Other Countries By the time a student graduates from Genoa High School he should have a knowledge of the histories and the governments of the world and the United States. Sophomores are required to take World History where they learn the histories, gov- ernments, and customs of the many countries of the world. They taped make believe interviews with fa- mous people of the past for a spe- cial project. The history of the American peo- ple is studied during the Junior year. This study of the United States is continued into the Senior year with American government. The highpoint of the year for seniors is a trip to Port Clinton to see how the county government operates. Not only does the GAHS student learn of his own country, but he has an opportunity to learn of two for- eign countries. Classes are taught in both French and Spanish. The class covers not only the language but also the customs and the way of life of these counties. Above: French student Jenny Spears concentrates on the recording of a conversation in that language.
