'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.'

- Marcel Proust

Social Studies / Classes / 2009-2010


Welcome to the 2009-2010 academic year! This website will serve as your information source for every aspect of your class, including expectations, assignments, discussion, resources, and guidance.

Your time in your Economics and Government classes will be spent examining various themes related to systems of government, American democracy, election processes, and the principles of economics from both a macro- and a microeconomic perspective. You will be asked to look through many different lenses, all in an effort to broaden your understanding of the world around you.

Our overarching goal this year is to acquire the foundational knowledge necessary to make informed decisions throughout life. The final results of our efforts wil serve to insure the preservation of the public good, while building our understanding of an increasingly interdependent world.

I look forward to working with each of you!
