History Department

The Coachella Valley High School Social Studies Department is committed to helping students become creative and independent thinkers by guiding them in the understanding and analysis of important economic, geographic, legal, political, and social issues of our contemporary and historical world. Our mission is:

1. To foster an understanding of the processes which are critical to solving complex problems, and to engage students in the regular practice of these problem-solving skills.
2. To assist the student in seeing the world from different perspectives.
3. To create students who can write, clearly, critically, and persuasively.
4. To guide our student population in their potential as citizens of a democratic nation and a contributing member of our local community.
