Department Updates: Social Studies Department

The MLS Social Studies Department is active in displaying various themes of major historical events throughout the first semester of the school year. The department recognizes school-wide and beyond those honored for September 11, 2001 and Veteran’s Day.

Nearly 200 Social Students students participated in the annual American Legion History Test offered on November 7th. Scholarships are made available by the American Legion for exemplary performance on the test.

Students will feel a patriotic presence in the school in the month of November as 'Old Glory' American flags will be displayed in the hallway outside each classroom entry.

MLS students will attend the 14th annual Amherst Veterans Day Ceremony at Patriots Park. Many students will volunteer to help veterans in various ways at the mural and VFW.

Fall College Representative Visits at Steele

Every fall, Steele offers juniors and seniors with a valuable opportunity to attend college representative visits. These 30-minute sessions take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays in our Steele Presentation area, typically at 9:15 am. During these sessions, admissions representatives from various colleges stop in to give an overview of their institutions. They provide detailed information about admissions processes, scholarships, and important deadlines.

This is a great chance for juniors to learn about different colleges and universities and for seniors to ask any questions they might have about the admissions process, majors, scholarships, etc. Students can register for these visits through their SchoolLinks account, which is accessible via their Amherst Launchpad/Classlink login. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Cooney.
