Welcome to 8th Grade Social Studies with Mrs. Pietricola!

This year we will explore American history from the Civil War to modern day. Starting right in September we will be working on essays, projects, documentaries and DBQs. I'm hoping this website will be a way for you to keep yourself organized and prepared for class.

Our unit notes can be found, when available, under Resources.
