This course, Georgia History, covers the history of the state of Georgia beginning with the indigenous Native American people of prehistory and spanning up to the present day.   It will also cover the state’s geographical and climactic elements as well as the structure and composition of state and local governments in relation to the federal government.  This is a TAG-level course and you or your child will be challenged, but we will also be able to have more group activities and creative application exercises.
