If you have accepted the challenge of Advanced Placement European History, congratulations and good luck. It takes talent and drive to make the A. P. effort as a sophomore. You may find the class very difficult and frustrating at times, but it is our goal to assist you along the way. We always speak of our Advanced Placement classes involving college level expectations with high school level assistance. Do not hesitate to ask for help.
In conjunction with our study of European history, Mr. Roswell will be leading a student tour group to Europe in the summer of 2008. If you are interested, follow the link below to look at a virtual outline of the tour.
