Jeffco social studies curricula are based on Colorado Academic Standards, developed by the Colorado Department of Education.
Social Studies at Columbine High School
Social Studies are concerned with the study of social relationships and the functioning of society. At Columbine, our course offerings include classes that encourage students to take a deeper look at government, history, geography economics, sociology and psychology.
We also offer eight different AP courses that focus on the behavioral sciences and allow students the opportunity to gain college credit.
Our department has 14 members and is deeply committed to making our classes both educational and enjoyable.
