Guest Hollow’s High School American History Year 2
Learn about American history from 1900 to 2013…
Guest Hollow’s American History Year 2 Curriculum covers a historical time period from about 1900 to 2013. Year 1 covers early American history.
We split American history into two years to allow students enough time to really process and understand the topics instead of just skimming over them. It’s our belief that one year isn’t an adequate amount of study time for hundreds of years of U.S. history! Our curriculum doesn’t crush everything into just one year, and it doesn’t skimp on important issues!
Students get to immerse themselves in terrific books and videos while also having access to a buffet of activities like historic recipes, original and secondary source documents, maps, an optional build a levee project, iCivics lessons and printables, articles, music, and literature tie-ins via free linked guides.
Students love learning history with Guest Hollow!

We switched to Guesthollow’s High School American History for year 2 after starting with another curriculum that I felt was neither thorough nor challenging enough. We have NOT been disappointed. All of our Guesthollow curricula are favorites of the kids, but this one might be the one they enjoy the most – and I certainly feel it gives a broader perspective than any other history curriculum I’ve used and the level of challenge can be modified by the wonderful way all the Guesthollow curriculums we’ve used are set up.
