The Social Studies Department is dedicated to taking an inquiry-based approach to teaching, in which students will consider multiple perspectives, develop cultural understandings, and become effective communicators.\u00a0 Students will also further develop critical media literacy skills by analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information. These skills will prepare them to participate in their government and to make informed decisions about the world around them. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Social Studies Department Supervisor<\/h3>\n<p>Ms. Marisa Yoda, Supervisor of Social Studies and World Languages<\/p>\n<h3>Classes We Offer<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>World History<\/li>\n<li>World History Honors<\/li>\n<li>US History I<\/li>\n<li>US History I Honors<\/li>\n<li>US History II<\/li>\n<li>US History II Honors<\/li>\n<li>AP Government and Politics<\/li>\n<li>AP US History II<\/li>\n<li>World History 107<\/li>\n<li>US History 207<\/li>\n<li>US History 307<\/li>\n<li>AP European History<\/li>\n<li>Psychology<\/li>\n<li>AP Psychology<\/li>\n<li>AP Human Geography<\/li>\n<li>Sociology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Extra Curricular Activities<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Psychology Club<\/li>\n<li>Debate Club<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7093\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7093\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rutherfordschools.org\/rhs\/files\/2024\/10\/Election-Workers-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rutherfordschools.org\/rhs\/files\/2024\/10\/Election-Workers-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rutherfordschools.org\/rhs\/files\/2024\/10\/Election-Workers-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rutherfordschools.org\/rhs\/files\/2024\/10\/Election-Workers-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rutherfordschools.org\/rhs\/files\/2024\/10\/Election-Workers-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rutherfordschools.org\/rhs\/files\/2024\/10\/Election-Workers-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seniors train to be poll workers in the upcoming election.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Social Studies Teachers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Mrs. Jessica Ferlauto<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Kenneth Lacy<\/li>\n<li>Ms. Chelsea Leary<\/li>\n<li>Mr. Arek Lipinski<\/li>\n<li>Mrs. Jennifer Moloughney<\/li>\n<li>Mr. Carmen Spina<\/li>\n<li>Mr. Andrew Van der Hoof<\/li>\n<li>Mr. Justin Van Dyk<\/li>\n<li>Ms. Marisa Yoda &#8211; Social Studies Department Supervisor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The goal of the Social Studies Department at Rutherford High School is to help students become socially responsible citizens in a global society.\u00a0 Courses are offered in American and World History, as well as studies in contemporary issues, geography, economics, civics, and the social sciences.
