Civics at Gates

Eighth grade students are excited to begin their study of Civics! Over the course of the year, students will study the United States government, how it has changed over time and the role of individuals in maintaining a healthy democracy. Students will gain the knowledge to be active, engaged citizens who can help shape society for the better. Eighth grade students are just starting their unit on how the US government was created and students are looking forward to seeing how they can impact change.
