📚🦈 GHS Historical Shark Tank Spotlight! 🦈📚

Today, we are pleased to highlight the exceptional instructional work taking place in Mr. Harris’ U.S. History class.

Our scholars participated in “Historical Shark Tank,” a creative project where they stepped into the role of entrepreneurs from history. Instead of pitching modern products, students pitched historical ideas, inventions, policies, and innovations all with the goal of convincing their audience why society should “invest” in them.

Students explained:
✨ Why their historical idea mattered
✨ What problem it solved at the time
✨ How it shaped society and its lasting impact

From compelling pitches to impressive research and creativity, our scholars truly brought history to life!

👏 Great job to Mr. Harris and our U.S. History scholars for an engaging, hands-on learning experience!
