CIVICS AND ECONOMICS: Our objective this semester is to have an exciting, interesting, and practical study of government, law and economics. We will understand how our government works and why it is important, as good citizens, to take an active part in our government. We will also understand the operation of our economy, how it affects our lives, and how to be responsible with our money.

U.S. HISTORY:   Our objective this semester is to study the history of the United States from an interesting, modern-day perspective.  We will understand the principles on which our American experience is based and the history of our people from colonization through modern times.  We will develop a greater appreciation for our nation.

SOUTHERN CULTURES: This new course developed by Mr. Spicer explores the various qualities that make the South a distinct region.  Units of study include history, politics, music, art, religion, social structure, race, food, storytelling, myth and superstition.  We have guest speakers, take an in-class field trip each unit of study, and do several research projects through the course of the semester.  It's a very fun class!

The purpose of the American Field Service Club of Hibriten High School is to build appreciation for and celebrate cultural differences and to provide opportunities for a diverse group of students to interact through cultural and social events and service projects. We host visiting year-long exchange students each year and also participate in a yearly short term exchange with another school in the United States. Our AFS Club also coordinates activities with the Hibriten Multi-Cultural Club. We encourage everyone to join in the fun. Hibriten High School has the largest A.F.S. Club in the United States.
