Responsibilities of Citizenship

Ninth-grade students in Hudson High School's integrated Civics-English course learn that democracy is an ongoing struggle, kept alive by an active and informed citizenry who recognize the rights of others and are empowered to affect change. Through community service-learning projects, the students discover first hand the value of civic engagement. In networking and advocating for themselves and their fellow citizens, they learn about the structure and dynamics of their community and gain concrete experience in their investigation of the abstract concepts raised by their Civics-English course.
