The goal of a history and social studies curriculum is to enable students to acquire the knowledge, skill and judgment to continue to learn for themselves; to participate intelligently, justly and responsibly in civic life, and in deliberation about local, national and international issues; and to avail themselves of historical and cultural resources - historic sites, museums, parks libraries, multimedia information sources- wherever they may live or travel.

"Truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but, in the end, there it is."

Sir Winston Churchill
