  • Criminal and Law is a College Now/SUPA class that teaches about the criminal justice system. You will receive college credit for this course. 
  • Walking Tour trips are held in the Spring on Saturdays. You get to hang out with social studies teachers and your friends. We walk around the city and give an oral presentation about the history of the places. One good thing, the trips are Free!
  • Do you know how and why our founding fathers are important in U.S. History? Well, you will know more about them in our all-day trips to Boston, Washington, and Philadelphia! You will visit monuments where our great leaders are enshrined, use your imagination of how the Civil War was fought, and to try to lick the liberty bell (please, don’t do it!).
