Field trips and workshops  
Throughout the school year, students have the opportunity to supplement their classroom learning with field trip experiences led by their instructors. Below is a list of the field trip opportunities that have been available to students studying specific disciplines.
History & Economics  
  • Each year, Tom Johnson, instructor of history, leads a trip to either Gettysburg, Pa. or Antietam Battlefield, Md. for his U.S. history classes. Students experience first-hand an area that students spend a significant time reading and learning about in class. Highlights of the trip Gettysburg include visiting the battlefields, the Eternal Flame Memorial, Virginia Memorial, the statue of Robert E. Lee, the site where Pickett's Charge began, and the Little Round Top.  Highlights of the trip to Antietam include“The Cornfield” and “Burnside’s Bridge," two of the most prominent features of the battlefield.
