Middle School Social Studies

Welcome back for the 2024-2025 school year at St. Augustin School! The middle school students are off to a great start again this year, and we will be very busy in Social Studies class all year. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you and your children. During the course of the upcoming school year, the students will be learning more about many different topics in my class, such as American history, American government, world regions, world cultures, contemporary global studies, civic ideals, the Election of 2024, current events, global interdependence, and global crises. This is the third year of implementation of the new Iowa Core Curriculum for K-12 schools, so we will continue to focus on these new elements of curriculum in all my classes. Please use this website for information about class content, activities, events and assignments, curricula, and course enrichment. Please email or call me if you have any questions about Social Studies class. Let's make it another successful year!
