The secondary
history and social science program in Chesapeake Public
Schools provides many opportunities for students to
experience all aspects of the study of mankind. The program
is designed to develop the knowledge and skills in history,
geography, civics, and economics and to allow students to

shaped our state, our nation and our world.
Students study the basic values, principles, and operation

program. The integration of these elements provides students
with a framework for continuing their education in history
and social science. |
