History Links
The Howard County Public Schools Social Studies Department Webpage is an excellent resource for parents, students, and other educators. Working with central office Curriculum Coordinator Mark Stout, I have created this site, including U.S. History links, in order to centralize resources throughout the social studies curriculum. Find research, assessment, lesson plan, and parenting links for your educational enhancement. If you find any site you would like to share, please email me the url.
