These concentration areas are not meant to stand alone. They are interrelated fields that assist students in understanding how many forces shape their lives and opportunities and define their relationships to the world around them.
Within your website, you can create as many additional pages as you desire. You also have the ability to create sub-pages - pages that are offshoots of the main pages in your navigation menu. For example, this page Social Studies is a main page. When I click on it in the navigation menu, I see pages listed that are connected to it. Period One and Assignment 1 are both considered sub-pages.
