Understand and reason about successes, failures, triumphs and tragedies in human history, particularly as they are reflected in the ideas and actions of the people today.

September 07, 2011
The social science department has created a video to commemorate the events of September 11th. Mrs. Bergstrom was gracious enough to be interviewed about the repercussions within her own family and Mr. Brown donated pictures from the Memorial that are pictured in this short video. The video duration is just short of 21 minutes. We will play this on Friday September 9th during Home Room.
