Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns at anytime throughout the year.
US History 8: Beginning with Reconstruction (after the Civil War) and ending at the present, US 8 incorporates geography as well as economic, social and political trends. The course content is divided into nine Key Ideas; the first seven trace the human experience in the United States from Reconstruction to the end of World War II. The last three Key Ideas examine different themes in United States and New York State history from the post-War period up to the present day, which provides the opportunity to explore contemporary issues.

“Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become.” By Heraclitus
Heraclitus (circa 535-475 BCE) is considered the most important pre-Socratic Greek philosopher. He was born in the Greek city of Ephesus. Little is known of his life and we have only a few sentences of his work.
