Overview
The Social Studies program consists of a required three-year core, which emphasizes both American History and World History/Cultures. College bound students interested in a concentration in history or the social sciences are strongly recommended to take 4 years of social studies, with an emphasis on honors and/or AP programs. Students who are college bound but not interested in a concentration in the above areas should consider taking at least 3 1/2 years of social studies. Students not attending college should also consider expanding their social studies understanding by taking more than the required 3 years.
