Social Studies

The Berlin High School Social Studies Department is committed to the mission of developing responsible and ethical citizens as well as lifelong learners. Departmental courses actively engage students in the acquisition of theoretical, technological, and practical knowledge; rigorously challenge students to think creatively and critically; and encourage students to understand, accept, and appreciate the diverse nature of society. In particular, departmental courses prepare Berlin High School students to read critically, write effectively, and communicate clearly and persuasively. In this way the Social Studies Department, its faculty, and its courses provide students the skills to achieve and to fulfill the expectations of their school and community. All students must earn 3.0 credits in Social Studies inclusive of 1.0 Civics and 1.0 US History.
