U.S. History
This is my Eleventh Grade Social Studies class website. Eleventh graders will take U.S. History both semesters of their year. On this page you will find our class syllabus as well as resources that can be opened and printed from home. I will do my best to keep these as up to date as possible. I am looking forward to having a great school year!
