Welcome Back to School and I Hope Everyone Had a Fabulous Summer!!!

This blog will be used with my HUSH classes (Honors US History).  This blog will be updating in the next few weeks.  We have the EOC exam this year in US History so we have to go in depth with the content this year.  I will be explaining more about the EOC in the upcoming weeks and there will be practice exams, pre-tests, and interim exams from the district and myself.
