Social Science

Welcome to the Social Sciences Department!

At ACHS, the Social Sciences Department empowers students to explore the past, understand the present, and shape the future. Through our diverse curriculum, students develop critical thinking, collaboration, and analytical skills while engaging with the world’s most pressing issues.

The mission of the Social Science Department is to ask students to examine customs, institutions, beliefs, and prejudices. We empower students to critically read, think, collaborate, and write. Students gain an understanding of the diverse world around them and how to perform the duties of citizenship. With these skills and knowledge, students are empowered to create a positive future for themselves and their community. 

Our courses offer:

  • Graduation Requirements: Meet state-mandated U.S. History and Government credits.

  • Advanced Learning Opportunities: Earn college credit through Dual Credit Courses and AP Programs, which prepare students for post-secondary success.

  • Simulations and Hands-On Learning: Participate in engaging simulations like the Legislative Simulation, Labor Simulation, and International Economic Summit, bringing real-world applications to the classroom.
