Social Studies
The Social Studies Department at Hidden River Middle School provides instruction for students to develop a sense of the world around them through study of three major topics:
- 6th Grade: Minnesota History
- 7th Grade: US History
- 8th Grade: Global Studies
In addition, we also participate in History Day and Model UN as part of our classes.
