History Day
History Day is an exciting, history-based learning experience for students who not only learn about issues, ideas, people and events in history, but they apply what they have learned through creative and original productions. Beyond simply memorizing names and dates and reporting on historical events, History Day students develop invaluable research and analytical skills as they process the information gathered through intensive research and draw their own conclusions about their topic's significance in history.

The "show" is not the entertainment, though there is a student-based program presented each year to entertain "the troops;" it is about the Oral Historians--World War II veterans--who give generously of their time to tell the story of the "greatest generation" and their fight for freedom.

The Museum of Tolerance Field Trip
In the 2002, the Rancho Buena Vista High School Social Studies Department began a partnership enabling its 10th Grade World History (European emphasis) classes to incorporate a trip to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles as part of their instructional program. That year and every year since, sophomores at Rancho have had the opportunity to experience this amazing field trip and integrate the experience with what they have learned in the classroom.

In 2006,over 670 students and nearly 50 adults visited the he museum. The cost of these trips (over $23,000) is underwritten by student contributions, student sales, and the generosity of parents and community. Ifyou would like to help us continue this vital educational experience, contact Mr. Charles Wilson (760-727-7284 x3707) or Mr. Keith Grauman (760-727-7284 x3235) for how you can help.
