To help students understand today’s problems and themselves through his- torical experiences and advances of great men and nations is the aim of the History Department. Eighth grade students are required to take history. Either world history or geography must be taken as a graduation requirement. Juniors are required to pass United States History, while seniors struggle with U.S. government. Advanced world history is also offered to those who are interested. r • i Jgj gER ' Ij 1 j Bobby Kenney leads a discussion on Communism in Mrs. Williams’ advanced government class. 16
