Introduction 

          The courses in the Social Studies Department are carefully designed to meet the needs of our students as they prepare for further education or a career of choice. The New Jersey State Department of Education requires three years of Social Studies instruction.  In order to meet these requirements, Roxbury High School students are offered a World History course in the ninth grade, and United States History 1 and 2 are given in the sophomore and junior years.  Students must take the required Social Studies courses each year for graduation.  Students are placed in Social Studies courses based upon achievement, teacher recommendations, writing ability, counselor recommendations, and student interest.
