Mrs. Molly Troemel is our Middle School Social Studies teacher.
Social Studies is an interesting and interactive class designed specifically for Middle Schoolers. Our curriculum includes the study of a variety of social topics including history, various cultures, maps, and much more. One point of focus we discuss in all grades is decision-making based upon the information and history available to us. In order to produce critical thinkers, we strive to introduce these concepts and encourage development in that area in particular.
