Philosophy A solid educational foundation is important for individual success and making a
meaningful contribution to the community. Through the study of history and the American
political system, students will be better prepared to take on these civic responsibilities of
American society as they transition out of high school. By ensuring their success through
education, we are preparing them for their future.
