Advanced Placement U.S. History




"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." -Aristotle

AP US History (APUSH) is designed to provide students with the analytic skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in US History. The class prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to full year introductory college courses.

Students will:
  • develop an understanding of the institutional, cultural and social forces that have shaped the people and the history of the United States
  • interpret, assess and apply data from historical documents and primary sources including political cartoons, graphs, letters, speeches etc.
  • effectively use analytical skills of evaluation, cause and effect, compare and contrast
  • use historical data to support an argument or position
  • place historical events in chronological order
  • write critically on historical topics
  • prepare for and perform to the best of their ability on the AP Test
CONGRATULATIONS to students who passed the AP Exam in May 2014!
