The Beginning of the Year

Welcome Hornets to the first few days of class. Class objectives, presentations, and the podcasts will not be posted until we start to dive into the core content of our classroom--Government. I will, however, make sure to post all policies and procedures so that you can be very knowledgeable of them as they guide us towards 80% every day and passing the HSA.
