Survey Government: Textbook—“Government Today”
Survey Government is for students who are not on the University Pathway to understand the fundamentals of how our American Government works in every day situations. WE study the origins of government, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. WE then, study the three branches of government: Legislative, executive and the judicial branch. The student learns how a bill is passed, the powers of the President and they research some of the major cases that have gone before the Supreme Court. Finally, we look at our civil liberties and our responsibilities as a U.S. citizen. We conclude our field of study and examine the origins and roles of political parties, special interest groups and how media and politics blend together.

American Government: American Government is a one semester senior course, which fulfills the graduation requirement of American Government. This course is designed to prepare students for college level work and meets the CSU/UC systems requirements for academic government. The course explores the History and ideas that led to the creation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. American Government focuses on the institutions (Congress, the Presidency, and the Court system) as well as process of government (voting, political parties, interest groups, and the media). Emphasis will be placed on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. An introduction to California State and Local government will be covered. Students will be coached to hone their essay writing and test taking skills in preparation for college level work.
AP US History: Welcome to AP U.S. History, a COLLEGE LEVEL history course that will both challenge and stimulate you intellectually! Although the benefit to you is great (increased “points” on your college applications, an inflated GPA and, potentially, college credit), you will work extraordinarily hard as you read the entire textbook for homework, create study sheets, engage in stimulating discussions, create projects, etc. You will be expected to do more than memorize names, dates and facts. You will be expected to challenge your thinking about the history of this nation.
This is not a class for those just looking to fill their college application with an AP course. You will have to work very hard and will often be frustrated with some of the grades you receive, especially on multiple choice tests. The tests are extremely difficult. You will actually have to think—just memorizing information is not sufficient to earn you an “A” or a “B” in the class.
Because of the rigor of this course, students and their parents need to be aware of specific commitments required and will sign this document indicating both parties’ willingness to commit to the responsibilities of this course.
