About the Social Studies Department
We hope that you are doing well during this difficult time. For your reference, all SRHS enrichment summer 2020 assignments can be found on the link provided below. These meaningful assignments are recommended for students who have requested to take an AP or an Honors course (as well as for any other student who wants to be better prepared for next year).
Each assignment has the teacher’s contact information - use that to contact the teacher directly with any questions about the assignment or the course.
As educators in the field of history/social studies, we want our students to understand the complexity of the social, economic and political world in which we live in. We want them to know their rights and responsibilities as American citizens. We want them to understand the meaning of the Constitution as a social contract that defines our democratic government and guarantees our individual rights. We want them to take active roles as citizens and to know how to work for change in a democratic society. We want them to understand the value, the importance, and the fragility of democratic institutions. We want them to develop a keen sense of ethics and citizenship. And we want them to care deeply about the quality of life in their community, their nation, and their world.
