More Information about the Humanities Program:

The Humanities and Communication Center Program provides unique and challenging learning opportunities in a three-year program for middle school students. Designed around a strong interdisciplinary humanities program, this center focuses on developing students’ ability to use language and media effectively to present results of their academic inquiry within the Montgomery County Public Schools Program of Studies. The program offers students intensive courses in writing and opportunities for their finest writing products to be published and broadcast.

Students use computer labs to draft, edit, and polish their work to publication quality. They incorporate their writing skills with those learned in other ides to create such pieces as position papers, plays, brochures, and magazine articles. Students will have hands-on opportunities to work as members of production teams in Clemente’s television studios.

Students will gain skills as performers, video-graphers, producers, directors, audio engineers, editors, and graphic artists. In addition to television, students also work with radio, video, and digital multimedia projects. The world studies curriculum provides the framework for the humanities center program. Students will make cross cultural connections by working as part of a group to develop an understanding of historical events that will later lead to problem-solving tasks with real-world issues.
