With every field trip comes learning that would never have happened in the first place. We'd love to continue providing our AP World History classes with experiential learning outside of the classroom. Our spring trip will take us to Cincinnati to see the Nancy and David Wolf Holocaust and Humanity Center and the Museum of Natural History and Science. We are looking to fundraise for these trips so that more cadets are able to experience the gift of outside-the-box learning. Friday, 10/11, we will be having a car wash in the 29th Street parking lot from 3:30-5:30p. $10 per car and all proceeds will go to our AP World History field trip fund. Thanks for your support! See you on Friday!

Mr. Moore's World History class got a first hand taste of Greece by making their own baklava. Cadets single-handedly made their own baklava from scratch, but their favorite part was the snack time where they got to try their own creation. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

Lt. Moore's Honors World History class displayed their knowledge of math and science to engineer a Roman aqueduct. Built to transport water to ancient Rome, the aqueduct remains an engineering marvel that still finds use today. Despite their best efforts, Mr. Moore's class had to concede that the Romans may have done it better. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
