Welcome to Advance Placement United States History (APUSH for short). In taking this course, you need to understand that it is a college course taught on a college level. That means that you will be expected to work independently outside of class, as well as in class. The class starts with the following summer work. This course covers a lot of material to fit into a normal school year. So, that we can finish before the AP Test in May 2017, you must do this work and have it completed the first day we return in September.

Attached is the summer work for those that are interested in taking APUSH in the 2016-17 school year. I look forward to seeing you in the fall.
