Friendship Public Charter School
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
The Friendship Public Charter School team utilized 1619 resources to further a school commitment to creating curriculum and resources that will empower Friendship scholars to become active global citizens and agents of social justice. Their two units, one middle school World History, and the other high school U.S. History are about historical events and the narratives we tell about them.
