Our Mission

The Department of Social Science and Civic Engagement builds transformational schools that ignite curiosity, promote agency, and elevate active participation in civic life.

Our Vision

Every student has the skills, knowledge, and habits necessary to effectively contribute to and participate in the social, political, and economic life of their communities and world.

Meet the Team

Indigenous Peoples Day

A culturally competent curriculum includes the stories and histories of all peoples, including the perspectives of Indigenous People. Use our Indigenous Peoples Day Guidance to ensure Indigenous Peoples’ perspectives and experiences are in your classroom.
