MHS SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT

The purpose of social studies is to help students assume an active role in today's world and to encourage them "to become life-long learners, caring individuals, and responsible citizens".  To facilitate this, students will be challenged to: accept responsibility for their own education, accept the importance of social interaction in working to improve the conditions for all people, intelligently participate in the democratic process, and develop critical thinking skills.  The social studies program seeks to encourage students to accept a diverse range of cultural differences and to value the worth and dignity of each individual in the global arena.
