More broadly, by exposure to a variety of cultures and human experience, the discipline of history seeks to prepare students for the responsibilities of citizenship and for dealing with the challenges of human existence. Our history classes also make every effort to help students think critically, to view events with perspective and objectivity, and to appreciate the complexity of human experience and the difficulty of interpreting it.
