Welcome!

This school year is going to be an amazing journey as we travel back in time to learn about the recent history of our nation (post-Civil War) and what it can teach us to be successful, responsible citizens today and in the future! This website was created for students and parents to access class information about the history curriculum, find additional learning resources, and discover just how interesting and exciting exploring history can be. Please check this website weekly for additional content, and please email me  if you have any questions about assignments or any other concerns.  ~ Mr. Hillygus
