The pri- mary duty of the social studies teacher is to help each student to acquire the knowledge and develop the abilities and characteristics which will enable him to live effectively and harmoniously with other human beings, taking his place as a useful participating citizen of the community, the nation, and the world. The Social Studies Department seeks to create an awareness in the student of his rights and responsibilities as a citi- zen. lt also develops an understanding of our heritage and an appreciation for the role of the United States in to- day's world.
