Overview
The Social Studies Department of Aquinas High School attempts to prepare students to be able to understand and appreciate the history and heritage of the United States and other cultures. Students will learn to identify and understand the problems that face our increasingly diverse nation and ever-changing, interdependent world of the future. Since it is important that students connect knowledge with beliefs and actions, we hope to challenge the students to develop a social consciousness, assume civic responsibilities in our democracy and act in positive ways as citizens so that a more just and peaceful world can be created.
*NOTE: Students need a total of 3 1/2 Social Studies Credits in order to graduate from Aquinas High School.
