Course Selection Materials

Welcome to the Social Studies Course Selection materials page. Below you will find information about the Social Studies courses at LHS as well as information about upcoming course changes. Should you have any questions please feel free to ask your current Social Studies teacher or stop in to see Mr. McCusker in room 219b.

If you are trying to decide which course is best for you or your child, these materials can help you identify the proper placement.  Each has a description of the expected reading and a text sample to let you explore the reading level of each course. Our Homework Expectations Sheet can offer you a comparison of the amount of readings, frequency of tests and homework commitment for each class.
