Field+Trips


 * Field Trip Commitment Form**
 * The sophomore class will be taking several field trips during the 2011-2012 academic year. The purpose of these field trips is to provide enrichment opportunities for the students in our classes and broaden their understanding of our various curriculum areas.Due to the tough economic times that we all face, as a team we wanted to plan the trips as far in advance as we could so that all of our students can start saving for them, and ensure that the trips will indeed be successful. The prices for each trip are estimates.Shorter day trips may be planned at a later time.**

Our first trip, a visit to Tryon Palace, will take place early in the year.The purpose is to experience what life was like in colonial North Carolina. We will end our study of colonial America and the Revolutionary War period with a visit to the palace, grounds and local historic homes to better understand the role New Bern played during this important period.
