AP US History is a college level course which meets one of the 3 required history courses for Georgia high school students.  Our area of focus will be from the early 1400s to the present day.  Our class will be based on studying the formation of the United States, its leaders, politics, thought, music, art, development and people of this great country.  This course will be taught on the college level.  Work at home will be comprised of reading in both primary and secondary sources, along with readings from the text book, and writing in preparation for the exam in May.  Class time will focus on lectures, group discussions, presentations, debates, and collegiate book reviews.  Come learn about the past and see how it is influencing our lives today.  Students who participate in this class will have a solid exposure to the level of work that will be required of them at the university level.  

Prerequisite reading/summer reading will be assigned when students sign up for the course.
