AP Students Travel to Washington, D.C.

Over the weekend of June 11th-13th, students of Mr. Chaloux’s AP US History class traveled to Washington, D.C. to experience our nation’s Capital.  The trip was a reward for all the hard work and effort that was exerted in preparation for last month’s AP Exam.  While in D.C., the students explored a number of historic landmarks, including: The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, the Pentagon, the Capitol, and the White House.  Walking the length of the National Mall, with all its memorials and national museums, was quite a thrill.  The students agreed that visiting the Holocaust Memorial Museum was somber yet the most rewarding aspect of the trip.  Additionally, the students eagerly took part in a tour of Howard University, one of the leading educational and research facilities in the country.  Overall, it was a very successful and enjoyable trip!
