Have you ever wanted to visit our Nation's capital and see our historical landmarks first hand? Join us for the opportunity to earn High School 0.5 credit in either Civics, US Government, or Current Events.  This class meets weekly on Wednesdays for 6 weeks and culminates with a class trip to Washington DC and the surrounding area in April, 2026 (dates TBD).

​

The time spent in Washington DC will offer students the opportunity to experience our nations history and see our government in an up close way.  We hope to also visit Philadelphia and possibly New York. The itinerary is still in the works, so stay tuned for exciting announcements!
