As we enter the new millennium and the new century, I am struck by the many changes that have taken place in our world. We have seen the birth of new nations and have paid the price for century-old conflicts that have, once again, reared their ugly heads. Technology has brought mankind to new levels of greatness, while also enabling him to devastate the world with his ignorance and prejudice. A new world has emerged that has brought humankind, for better or for worse, closer together than ever before. We must prepare our students for this new world and give them the necessary skills to reach for the stars at every opportunity. At the same time, we must also prepare our students to meet the challenging standards mandated by the state for graduation. All students must pass a Global History Regents and a U.S. History Regents in order to graduate. The department is ready to help students meet these challenges and ensure that they have the opportunity to be all they can be.
