Oakcrest High School students in U.S. History I and English II classes recently traveled to the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pa. While there, students viewed a presentation, and then had the opportunity to tour the city’s vast historic district.

Those who participated were thrilled with the experience. “The trip was a great experience for the students,” commented Jim Dunn, social studies teacher. “I was happy to take them to a place that they had been learning about in class. Being in the actual building helped them relate to the classroom material.”

Students agreed with their teacher. “I thought the trip to the Constitution Center was very educational and exhilarating,” said Melanie Mackleer, a sophomore. “I learned new things about the constitution. The Constitution Center was very cool. The metal people on display were interesting looking.”
