Social Studies

Our social studies program sets the scene with the study of sweeping events that characterize the times.  These events are presented in chronological order and organized on a timeline.  Through our study of maps and globes, social studies becomes hands on.   As Selinsgrove School District is committed to educating the "whole" child, citizenship and American values are also central themes.  Citizenship education stresses both our common ground and our diversities, and it teaches responsibility toward family, community, and nation.
