History and Thought of Western Man (HTWM) is an interdisciplinary two-year, team-taught course designed for highly motivated gifted students. The two-year sequence covers the history, literature, philosophy, and the arts of the Western world from ancient Egypt to the present. Students are introduced to college-level reading and a variety of advanced topics and activities. Students who successfully completed all four semesters of HTWM will receive two semesters of Social Studies credit and two semesters of Language Arts credit. Since HTWM satisfies the History of World Civilizations requirement, students who fail any semester of HTMW must take History of World Civilizations in order to fulfill the graduation requirement. If you are interested in enrolling in the HTWM course at Rich South High School, please see Ms. Clark or Mrs. Harger ASAP!
