Getting your bearings, finding your way


"History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are." David McCullough

Welcome, class of 2011! As you meander the halls of Skyview, familiarizing yourself with your schedule and school day, consider Mr. McCullough's quote. To what degree are we shaped by the past? As individuals? As a school? As a nation? To that end, to what degree does prior knowledge and experience shape what is to come (behavior and outcomes)?

For extra credit, reflect on Mr. McCullough's quote. In the comment box, please share an example of how the past has bearing on your present or future. Please be certain to identify yourself (first and last name) and period number in your comment. As example is listed for you below.
