The years that comprise a student’s academic experience in secondary school, the middle school through high school years, are a unique period in one’s lifetime. This is a time of change, from childhood to young adulthood, and with this change comes challenges, opportunities, and a broad-range of new experiences. During these years, an important aspect of human development that impacts a person’s future is his/her education. To this end, American High School offers a multitude of academic options and programs for our students. It is important to carefully consider these options and to become familiar with the requirements for successful progression from middle school to high school and postsecondary education.
School administrators, teachers, and counselors are key individuals in helping to guide students in making smart choices to optimize each student’s academic experience. It is my hope that each student take advantage of the information available on our website and of the assistance provided at American High School to plan an academic path that leads to success during the secondary school years and, ultimately, as a productive member of society..

The primary content emphasis for this course pertains to the study of American history from the Exploration and Colonization period to the Reconstruction Period following the Civil War. Students will be exposed to the historical, geographic, political, economic, and sociological events that influenced the United States’ development and the resulting impact on world history.
So that students can see the relationship between cause and effect in historical events, students should have the opportunity to explore those fundamental ideas and possibilities which occurred after Reconstruction.
Our topics will include Astronomy (the study of outer space), Geology (the study of rocks, earthquakes, volcanoes, and plate tectonics), Meteorology (the study of the atmosphere, climate, and climate change), and Oceanography (the study of the oceans and water systems). This course will use hands-on experimentation, activities, and direct instruction.
You will learn the ‘how’ and ‘why,’ not just the ‘what’ of science. I will show how Earth Science is relevant in your everyday life; you must provide the willingness to learn.
