Social Studies Department

Social Studies

The Social Studies department at Holy Cross School educates students in the social sciences throughout grades 5-12.

The 5 faculty members that make up the department have over 130 years of combined teaching experience. Over half those years have been spent educating young men in an all boys setting.

Material is presented to students in a variety of ways, as our faculty uses methods such as lectures, class discussions, individual and group projects, field trips, guest speakers, and internet research.

The goal of the department is to teach not only the history of the state, country, and world we live in, but to also relate these facts and ideas to both the present day we live in and the future that is ahead of us.
