Welcome to Ms. Garrity's Learning Community!

"Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation." - John F. Kennedy-

A new school year is here and I hope you are ready for a fun year in social studies class! I'll be teaching American Studies and Psychology this school year. Studying history is a gateway towards learning about ourselves as a country, our culture and making informed decisions for the future. Furthermore, history promotes the development of useful skills such as critical reading, effective writing and public speaking which can open many doors for your future!

Mission and Vision

Mission: As a teacher of the Social Studies department, our primary mission is to prepare students to develop the ability to become informed and engaged citizens of a culturally diverse and globally interdependent 21st century world. Our focus is to ensure that social studies is meaningful, real, and authentic for all students. Inquiry is at the core of this curriculum as students are challenged to ask questions, investigate, analyze, and critique before they draw conclusions about history and the world around us.

Vision: It is our vision that every student leaves WLHS with an ability to apply civic and historical thinking to become life- long learners and active participants in their community. Graduates of WLHS will have the ability to appreciate other cultures, beliefs, and perspectives through appropriate and meaningful interactions.
