To open the year, the sixth grade classes began with a review of basic global features and definitions related to time and place.

The seventh grade explores the roots of our country, and how these roots grew, changed, and helped shape the present society we live in.

The centerpiece of the eighth grade history curriculum revolves around the successful completion of the U.S. and Illinois constitution tests. A passing grade on both tests is necessary for promotion into high school. These units of study will begin during the final grading period of the school year.

Junior High Social Studies Mr. Sengstock is the Social Studies teacher for grades 6, 7 and 8. Mr. Sengstock has an 8th Grade Homeroom. Textbook readings
and corresponding questions are the main sources of homework in
world history, assigned to assess student comprehension of the content
and as preparation for discussion the following day. As an extension of the world history curriculum, all of my classes and I attempt to keep up with current events that are shaping our nation and world. Our classes have full-period discussions every other week or so. This year, we will be paying close attention to the presidential primary elections and caucuses. To enhance discussion, I usually ask that students bring in a national or world news article to share with the class.
Mr. Sengstock is the moderator for Student Council. The 2011 - 2012 Student Council Officers are: President Damian Richardson, Vice-President Will Zimbler, Activity Director Siobhan Doherty, Secretary John Pollard and Treasurer Ireland Flannery. Congratulations! Bill won the Ascension Bee in 2012 as well and advances to State finals of the National Geographic Geography Bee.
