Who can go on the trip?

2) Students who are PASSIONATE about learning . Students who love history.

3) Students who are RESPONSIBLE—who display good academic behavior and MATURE classroom behavior.

This is an academic trip. An educational trip. It’s fun and exciting…but it is a HISTORY trip. So, if you do not like history…this may not be the trip for you.

We are traveling across the country—on planes, boats, buses, and trains—to countless historic sites, through major U.S. cities. So, if you are not a mature, responsible, respectful student…this may not be the trip for you.

4) Going on this trip is a privilege earned. If we see behaviors during the year that indicate that this trip is not for you due to a lack of the aforementioned behaviors, you will lose your spot and someone from the wait list will take your place.

1) Students who have STAMINA. This is a high energy trip!!! We are ON THE GO!!! If you get tired easily or just like to generally hang out and relax…this may not be the trip for you.

I understand that these are experiences that I should not take for granted and, if given the opportunity to attend, I will uphold behavior expectations set by my teachers and represent myself, my school, and my community in the most positive light.
