Algebra I and II, General Math The ultimate goal of the Social Studies Department at West Allegheny is the encouragement of good citizenship, which can only be obtained through a knowledge and understanding of the history and ideals of preceding generations, their accomplishments and their failures. With this in mind, the history of Pennsylvania and the framework of government are presented to freshmen, and the world's story is taught to sophomores. During the junior year America’s past is related, and the senior year is spent in the study of the problems of a democracy. With this background a graduate should be able to successfully take his place as a member of the society of the world. HARRY E.

After completion of the required two years of science, biology and general science, a student may elect to further his knowledge in this field by studying chemistry, physics, and or electronics. General math, algebra, plane geometry, and trigonometry are offered by the Math Department.
