Last Tuesday, high school students in both “A.P. Government and Politics” and “Political Literacy and Civic Education (PLACE)” celebrated the midterm elections with their biennial election party. Over 30 students and staff members gathered in the evening to watch the returns trickle-in. Students made election themed treats, discussed their personal forecasts and participated in trivia contests. The event was sponsored by the Social Studies Department.
