I am very excited about the beginning of this term and I have high expectations for our class. I believe that a student's family can play a crucial role in their education. I encourage you to ask your child frequently about his/her progress in the course and the content that we are studying. United States history is a required class by both the State of Michigan and Lakeview Public Schools. It must be passed to graduate. The course has been designed around the Michigan State Content Standards for History and Social Studies. This high school United States history course provides students with a comprehensive, intensive study of major events and themes in United States history. Beginning with reconstruction after the Civil War, the course examines major events and themes throughout U.S. history. The course concludes with significant developments in present day early 21st century. While learning of our countries history, students will develop critical thinking skills that will allow them to develop opinions about historical and current events. Most importantly, your child will be required to participate fully in this course. Students must understand that excellent class attendance and participation are absolutely essential for success in this course.
