History for the Homeschooled High School Student
The purpose of this survey is to discover what you, as a homeschooled student, would like to see in your high school history curriculum.
Because we know that you have much more important things to do than take surveys about school stuff, (believe me, we did too, back in the day), we want to thank you for making the time to take this survey. At the end of the survey you will be given the opportunity to enter to win your choice of either a $25 iTunes Gift Card or a $25 Starbucks Gift Card simply for taking this survey.
