=The Mission:=

Mr. Toohey and Mr. Zeitler are dedicated to helping each and every one of their students grow as individual learners, as well as helping them become better citizens through gaining an understanding of the American cultural tradition. This includes, but is not limited to, an appreciation of the historical timeline, geographical context, political landscape, literary accomplishments, economic climate, and artistic endeavors of American life. American Studies is not simply a combination of the study of American history and literature, but instead is an interdisciplinary field that combines aspects of numerous related fields in an effort to gain a broad understanding of the effects of many events and movements on the life of the everyday American.

The student may look forward to a year of varied activities and approaches that will utilize their strengths and improve their weaknesses. There will be challenges ahead, but each and every student may count on the full support of their teachers and peers both inside and outside of the classroom.
