Welcome to the Office of Social Studies

Social Studies is a diverse discipline that covers many subject areas including geography, history, political science, economics, anthropology, archeology, law, philosophy, psychology, religion and sociology (GCSS, 2007). This integrated curriculum enables educators to help students develop their ability to make informed decisions for the public good and better understand world affairs.

Our focus is to ensure that social studies is meaningful, real and authentic for all students. We are challenged to increase our students' knowledge about the world as they strive to find resolutions to global problems that transcend national borders. Our goal is to help our students be equipped to confront, discuss and address world events.
