Mr. Dowling
Social Studies With A Smile

This course explores the story of United States history from the early stages of European exploration to the Civil War. During this time period, we will encounter many interesting people, places and events that have shaped U.S. History, for good or for bad. As students, we owe it to our ancestors to learn history. Remember, the events that we have experienced in our lifetime will be history for future generations to learn.

Looking Forward to Returning to School.
