Do you want to give your child the opportunity of a lifetime?
There is an awesome and unique learning experience available to your child at Highland Park Junior High!!!
Highland Park Junior High has had the privilege and special opportunity for the last ten years to take students on a 4-day educational study program to Washington, D.C. American History for your child is enhanced through this on-site, interactive experience that allows us to see first hand what a dynamic history we have. The opportunity is open to any interested seventh and eigth grader to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The 4-day trip focuses on some of the national treasures, the U.S. Capitol, the Holocaust Museum, and all of the war memorials and presidential monuments. The students are challenged to analyze historic events, turning points and heroes of our past with Washington, D.C. and Virginia as the stage. The trip enhances the junior high American History program along with the deeper understanding of our history, consequences of choice and the student’s role in the future of America.
