SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department, under the direction of Mr. Robert Avakian, is very popular due to its student-elective courses of sociology and field trips, psychology, anthropology, Chinese, and Indian Civilization. Juniors are required to take United States History, and additional advanced placement courses are offered in western civilization and United States history. Much of the increased interest in social studies finds its basis in the fact that it teaches its students to challenge the world head on! THEJOY 20 Richard J. Stack Donald Beurman
