Students at Hilliard’s middle schools had the opportunity to visit and tour the Ohio Statehouse in connection with the 8th-grade social studies model curriculum. This learning, focused on early American history and the role and systems of government, helps learners to gain perspective of the generations of Americans who have contributed positively to our society as well as the historical events and institutions that continue to shape our communities and nation. During their visits, students learned about the Statehouse complex, the legislative process, and how ideas can become codified into state law. These opportunities provide our students with relevant learning experiences and connect them to their communities and future responsibilities.
