🇺🇸 In the dual-credit course combining HIS 109 with AP US History, students embarked on a collaborative journey to unravel the complexities of Manifest Destiny and westward expansion. This activity aimed to cultivate critical thinking skills, historical analysis, and teamwork among students. The project commenced with students forming groups, each tasked with the responsibility of dissecting a curated selection of primary sources that delved into various facets of Manifest Destiny. These sources ranged from letters and speeches to songs, government documents, and artwork from the period. The diverse nature of the primary sources ensured a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted perspectives surrounding westward expansion. Analyzing the primary sources was not merely an academic exercise; it was an opportunity for students to connect with the past on a personal level. By immersing themselves in the words and experiences of historical figures, students gained a profound insight into the motivations, challenges, and consequences of westward expansion. This hands-on approach to history transforms the learning experience, bridging the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world understanding. By immersing themselves in primary sources and engaging in collaborative analysis, students developed a nuanced understanding of historical events and honed crucial skills that will serve them well beyond the confines of the classroom.

Kindergarten students at HES had a fun surprise during Read Across America week! Shep Shepherd (father of kindergarten student Brystal) surprised the kids by letting them tour his truck! Thanks to the partnership with Walmart, students toured Mr. Shepherd’s truck and received a coloring book teaching them about safety! The kids had a blast exploring and learning about the bunk beds, refrigerator, and truck driver life. Students got to blow the horn and see the engine. This was a fun experience for our kindergarten students and teachers, too!
