Text Box: Mission Statement        The priority of social studies is to strengthen our democracy through the development of enlightened citizens.  To this end the mission of social studies education must be to instill in students an understanding of their cultural heritage and to provide them with a working knowledge of the economic, political and social factors that make up our society.        A central goal of the social studies program is effective thinking and reasoning.  It is important that students learn to conceptualize and connect ideas and knowledge with beliefs and civic participation.  To do that, thinking and reasoning skills are learned through systematic practice throughout the social studies department.
