MR.PETRAITIS Cuyahoga Falls High School

Advanced Placement United States History is a survey course covering material from the age of exploration and discovery to the present. This course is taught at the college level. The major differences between a high school and a college history course are the amount of reading and focus. The goal is to prepare students for the intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands equivalent to those made by a full year college course. Students will develop their ability to understand and utilize primary and secondary sources by applying them to historical themes, interpretations, and transformations. Following a rigourous study of content, students may take the AP exam in United States History administered by the College Board in May.
