The course is designed to develop skills such as reading and interrupting maps, graphs, chart, political cartoon, and secondary sources. Reading objectives are integrated into the curriculum each grading period to enhance reading skills.

The eighth grade course is United States History to 1877. This course focuses on the deveolpment of the United States from it's discovery to the Reconstruction Period. Students examine events involving the native Americans and the coming of the European settlers. Students also discuss how political ideas lead to the development of a democratic society. The skills taught in the seventh grade course are also emphasized in this course on an advanced level. The Challenge Curriculum for both courses cover the same basic information, but it takes the students to another level of instruction through kinds of cooperative learning at an accelerated pace. The students in both courses are assigned special projects throughout the year to earn additional credit and to carry instruction to a greater level.
