🏛️ Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🏛️
Mr. Moguel, Mrs. Bender, and our 10th-grade Civics scholars recently traveled to the Halifax Historic District for an immersive, hands-on history experience—and what a day it was!
Throughout the day, our scholars explored historic site buildings, visited a Continental Army camp, and experienced living history demonstrations like hearth cooking and blacksmithing at the Bradford-Denton House. They also toured the Royal White-Hart Masonic Lodge No. 2, the Edward Cheek House, and even took part in self-guided exploration of the Underground Railroad Trail.
Scholars engaged in powerful learning opportunities, including:
📚 A history presentation on the origins of the “Tar Heel” identity
🎶 A live musical performance by the Syllabub Trio
📖 A presentation highlighting Free People of Color and their contributions as patriots
💥 An exciting musket-firing demonstration on Market Square
This experience brought history to life, allowing our scholars to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences. We are so proud of how they represented WECHS!
