The Social Studies department of James S. Rickards High School offers a wide scope of learning opportunities to enable students to develop both academically and as knowledgeable and participating citizens. World History, US History, US Government, Economics, and Personal Finance are required subjects, while African American History, Psychology, International Relations, Human Geography, and Anthropology are offered as academic electives.
Additionally, we offer Advanced Placement, Pre-IB (International Baccalaureate), and IB History programs to further enhance student development. Our SS courses are all designed with strong reading, analysis, and writing components. We also offer extracurricular opportunities through participation in National History Day (History Fair), African American History Brain Bowl, Model United Nations, Kids Voting, and various field trips to explore our local government functions.
