I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King, Jr. 

 

Trust, but verify.
Ronald Reagan 

 

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
John F. Kennedy

Advanced Placement United States History (APUSH) 2012-'13

APUSH is a demanding course.  It is the equivalent of a first-year college level course that if successfully completed can earn students college credit.  APUSH requires that students read and write extensively. 

APUSH covers from 30,000 years ago, when the first Americans alledgedly arrived in the New World to present-day.  In order for students to succeed in APUSH they will be called upon to be active, independent learners.  Students will need to master the following:

  1.  master a broad body of historical knowledge
  2. demonstrate an understanding of historical chronology
  3. use historical information to support an argument
  4. interpret and apply data from a variety of historical documents
  5. use analytical skills to show cause and effect relationships
  6. write essays with precision by supporting a well-developed thesis
  7. apply different historical schools of thought in arguments
