History courses teach high school students the past to prepare for the future

Our social studies department is focused on providing students with a well-rounded view of the world.

From understanding the human mind in our psychology courses to exploring the rich, complex history of the world, students will benefit from discussions about past and present political, socio-economic, and cultural happenings in our own country and across the globe.

What do you learn in history in high school?

High school students in Wisconsin learn about the history of our state (including history and culture of American Indian tribes), our nation, and the world.
