The "We the People: The Citizen and
the Constitution" program is an initiative that encourages students to
take a detailed look at the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the
impact of the Constitution on America throughout history and in the
modern day. It encourages and promotes the development of an active and
informed citizenry.
This year, students in Mr.
Gaston's US History I Honors classes were exposed to two of the units
of study from the program. Those units dealt with the historical and
philosophical foundations of the Constitution and the debates and
processes involved in creating the Constitution.
