History
 A major goal of the History Department at Cicely L Tyson Middle/High School is to help students become effective citizens in a global society through exposure to various courses in American and World History, and studies in ethnic studies, civics, and sociology. Students practice skills to enable them to problem solve and become effective communicators and citizens. Students learn to think like historians by analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information. These skills will prepare them to participate in their government and to make informed decisions about the world around them through developing a global awareness. The History Department is dedicated to taking a student-centered approach to teaching by creating problem based and project based learning activities.
