Poughkeepsie High School offers a variety of social studies classes to meet the New York State graduation requirements. We draw our material from history, the social sciences, the humanities and science. The goal is to educate scholars to become informed and involved citizens of our democratic society and be prepared to identify, analyze and work to solve the problems that face our community and the increasingly diverse nation. There are required courses in World and US History, Participation in Government, and Economics. In addition, we offer electives to help students explore their interests on a deeper level.
