Welcome to FHS Social Studies
At Flushing High School. the Social Studies Department seeks to build the Historical Thinking Skills of our students that will allow them to be active and engaged participants of US Democracy. We do this by exposing students to challenging, culturally relevant, and rigorous texts and high-level concepts. We then work with them to support their acquisition of those skills and content. We have a Growth Mindset with our students and always look to challenge them and help them grow academically. Additionally, we have a Law Program that allows students to learn and practice the skills needed to pursue a degree within the field of Legal Studies including careers as a Lawyer or Judge.
