MISSION STATEMENT

Your mission should answer: Why? It provides clarity of purpose. Your mission gives focus to the question, ‘Why does this curricular area exist?’

The mission of the K-12 social studies curriculum is to engage students in the study of the five disciplines within the social sciences. Coursework and units of study provide students with opportunities to develop an appreciation for diverse civilizations by helping them understand how geography, history, economics, politics, and human behavior from past and present societies have a lasting impact on our changing world. Students develop the skills, knowledge, and perspective needed to become responsible global citizens and lifelong learners.
