A.P. U.S. History is a rigorous and challenging course designed to be the equivalent of a college freshman U.S. History survey course. Students should possess strong reading and writing skills and be willing to devote substantial time to study and the completion of class reading assignments. Emphasis is placed on class discussion, the use of primary and secondary sources, critical and close reading, and analytical writing. This course prepares students to take the College Board Advanced Placement examination and possible earn college credit.

Mastery of content and grades are important but of equal value are:Study and analytical skillsCritical and close reading of primary and secondary sourcesUnderstanding and developing historical thinking skills (causation, periodization, change over time, and comparison)Using historical themes to connect to broader contextsConstructing and evaluating historical interpretationsUsing historical knowledge as a guide to present understanding and actionEmpathizing with the past
