Department Focus: The Jefferson Township Middle School Social Studies Curriculum is a comprehensive program that is aligned with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and the National Council for the Social Studies. The NCSS defines social studies as "the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence." To meet this end, it is recommended that a school program provide for the study of culture, civics, global connections, governance, science and technology, development and evolution of society, identity, time and change, and geography. The middle school program is focused on three content areas in grades six, seven, and eight designed to meet these goals.

“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” - T. Roosevelt
