Basic Information about the Social Studies Program at St. Hubert
In order to graduate, all students must take two years of World History and one year of American History. World History 2 is required of all sophomores, although some Art or Music students may delay taking it until junior year. American History is required of all juniors, although some students who plan to take a two-year business program may delay taking it until senior year. Those who delayed taking World History 2 in sophomore year must take it in junior year and then take American History in senior year. Students who have completed their three-year course requirement may choose a Social Studies elective in senior year provided they meet course requirements. (Seniors may choose two social studies electives for senior year.)
