Social studies courses benefit students interested in any of the six focus areas.
Occupations related to social studies range from archeologist to professor.
Students who wish to take two U.S. History courses may elect to take the required U.S. Modern History course and AP United States History as an elective. This plan is recommended for students planning to test for AP Credit. Students may substitute the elective AP United States History course for the required U.S. Modern History course. If this option is selected, the AP United States History course must be taken in grade 11. At first glance, this course may look like the end of one history and the beginning of another.
