Social studies helps students know heritage In order to under- stand ourselves and our heritage, we must also understand the field of social studies. Students have the op- portunity to know and understand not only the United States and the world through history and geography classes, but also themselves and others through psychol- ogy and sociology classes. Graduating students must know about the U. S. governmental and economic systems and about social problems in our society. The social studies teachers are Mr. William Mull, Mr. Keith Pierson, Mr. Robert Herman, Mr, Donald Gundy, Mr. James Sherron and Mr. John Briegel. , .USA .
