🌏AP World History in action! 🌏

Huge shoutout to Mrs. Freyer’s AP World History students for the incredible work they put into their recent mock trial!

The class was split into prosecution and defense as they put Genghis Khan and the Mongols on trial. Students dove deep into historical research, collaborated as legal teams, built arguments, and planned their strategies, all with one goal in mind: to win the case.

After presenting their arguments to a jury made up of last year’s AP World History students, the verdict was in… Genghis Khan and the Mongols were found guilty, and the prosecution walked away with the win! ⚖️🎉

This was a powerful example of critical thinking, teamwork, public speaking, and historical analysis at its best. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Well done, Dragons! 🐉

Reminder for all JUNIORS and SENIORS: the LAST day to buy 2026 prom tickets is this Friday, February 27th! See Mrs. Freyer to purchase your ticket.
