McCall Middle School

The middle school Social Studies offerings provide students with a range of content as they develop the critical writing and thinking skills necessary in the social sciences. Students are introduced to archeology and cartography in the beginning of sixth grade and then begin to explore how and why societies develop, as well as the elements that make for successful civilizations.  In seventh grade, students take a deep dive into geography, evaluating how the physical geography of the world influences settlement patterns, while also exploring the history, cultures and beliefs of the regions they study.  As eighth graders, students study the origins of the United States and its government and then spend the second half of the year exploring how the country’s government functions at the local, state and federal levels.  Each grade level provides students with a variety of assessments, allowing students to engage in creative and personal interpretations of their studies.
