Fossil Ridge High School – American Humanities

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

This class combines United States history, humanities, and United States literature. Students are encouraged to explore their roles in the community while incorporating art, music, and current events within historical units. At FRHS: American Humanities is designed to give students a broader appreciation of and exposure to United States culture from its foundation to the present. By becoming aware of the various movements in literature, events in history, fine arts works, musical movements, and various forms of popular culture, students will determine the “general” character of the United States and its ideals. Studies will include how people within different eras of American history have defined their understanding of what it is to be an American and how that identity has evolved via literature and the arts.
