Join us to explore and compare the two 12th-grade Civics curricula currently being piloted in our district, where you'll see unit overviews, lesson examples, and teaching approaches from both programs. During this session, families will examine how each curriculum develops civic knowledge, critical thinking skills, and community engagement.

Your voice matters—you'll complete a feedback survey that will directly inform the adoption committee's decision-making process as we select the best civics education for our seniors.
