Somerset Hills School District

"We are committed to making our students at SHSD engaged in the contemporary and historical issues of our world. The social studies department intends to build the process for our students to be critical thinkers of the historical, political, and economic issues facing their community and their world. This will develop our students as 21^st century active citizens to take part in our participatory democracy."

​

Our elementary curriculum is guided by the National Council of Social Studies, College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) standards to help keep social studies participatory for students. Click here for information and for the standards.

BHS offers several choices in the social studies department for electives. Please view the slideshow above with brief information about every elective
