About the project
This site hosts the resulte of student history projects created by students at Green Hope High School in Cary, NC. In the AP United States History classes at Green Hope we encourage our students to be creative thinkers, to engage critically with historical evidence, and, as much as possible, to create history in the way working historians do.
Throughout the semester, students have worked to develop their skills in historical analysis, assigning historical significance, and positing defensible historical arguments. As a culminating activity, students have brought all of those skills and processes to bear in the creation of original histories. This semester's focus was on learning more about the experiences of veterans of American's 20th and 21st century conflicts at a level of detail that is typically left out of the standard American History curriculum and textbooks. Student teams have conducted research and interviewed veterans and on this site they present their findings.
Each page of this site is dedicated to telling one story that students have collected. We hope you enjoy joining with the AP United States History students from Green Hope in exploring the Veteran's Experience!
