Welcome to Medal of Honor!
 
In this American history class, students will learn about the events leading up to World War I through the end of World War II. The class will cover a variety of topics including: political, social, and economic developments in the United States and around the world during this period.
 
We will examine the history and significance of the Medal of Honor, including its creation during the Civil War and its evolution over time. Students will learn about the criteria for receiving the Medal of Honor and the different types of actions that can lead to a recipient being awarded the medal. We will learn about the recipients of this prestigious award.
 
Throughout the class, students will engage in a variety of activities: readings, discussions, research papers, and presentations. They will also have the opportunity to explore primary sources, including speeches, letters, and photographs in order to develop a deeper understanding of the events and issues during this period in American history.
