North Carolina has {world} History too!

Our AP History classes enjoyed an incredible trip through an historical tour of our home state in North Carolina.  The students toured the NC Museum of Natural Science, the State Capitol building, and NC State University.  From there, they experienced the grandeur that is Duke Chapel, then toured Duke University.  They had fun as well, taking in a Hornets game in Charlotte and wrapping it up with Carowinds.  

These kids have worked so hard this year, through Hurricane Helene and finishing up their AP curriculum in time for their exams.  

We are proud of them.
