Student Historian Project

This elective course offers sophomores who demonstrate a passion and aptitude for the study of history the opportunity to engage in an advanced research project, using significant archival and academic research. Students will spend the first part of the course learning the necessary research and writing skills before choosing a topic and using the skills they've learned to thoroughly research that topic. The capstone project is a presentation of their research to the wider school community.
