The honors course in United States History provides the opportunity for advanced
work, rigorous academic study, and the practical application of the major ideas
and concepts found in the study of American history. The course is challenging
and requires students to take greater responsibility for their learning by
participating in problem-seeking and problem-solving, scholarly and creative processes, critical analysis and application, reflective thinking, and the expression and defense of ideas generated through the study of the content.

World History

The purpose of the Honors World History course is to use relevant factual knowledge taken from primary and secondary sources with high-order thinking skills to acquire a greater understanding of the development of global processes, from ancient times to the present day. The course emphasizes the character of change and continuity in world structures and their impacts. Furthermore, this study will evaluate the interchange of major societies in the global community and
the results of that interplay. Throughout the duration of this course, the instruction lends itself to chronological periodization as well as thematic perspective.
