Social Studies

Social studies includes the integrated study of humanities, history, geography, economics, government and civics and draws upon the disciplines of sociology, psychology, and law. The Wheatland-Chili Middle/High School Social Studies Department strives to motivate students to become lifelong learners while meeting the New York State Education Department standards for social studies. By engaging learners in challenging activities, our faculty encourages students to understand and appreciate where civilization has been, where it is going and how to be an active participant in the world.This knowledge will help them develop the skills to be successful and responsible citizens, leading productive lives in a democratic society.
