Course syllabus (PDF, 32 kb)

Welcome to 9th grade U.S. History.

On this site, you’ll find everything you need to succeed in my class. Every announcement, assignment, lecture, and study guide will be posted. I’ll also use this site to supplement our classwork — if we don’t have time to talk about it in class, we’ll talk about it here.

All files are Adobe portable document files (PDFs), which are readable on all computer operating systems. The free software to read these files can be downloaded here.

To reach me outside of school hours, students and parents are encouraged to e-mail me at tripodij@bsd.k12.pa.us.

Let’s have a great year!

-Mr. Tripodi
