: Despite being only a one-semester course, students excelled on the College Board SAT II exam afterward.  Five (5) students scored 720 or higher on the SAT II, and a total of eleven (11) students scored 600 or higher.  Given that these students were competing against mostly older college-bound high school students who had taken a full year, or even two years, of U.S. History, these scores after this one-semester, one-day-a-week program were remarkable.

: Students from that class ultimately went on to excel far above expectations.  One student, for example, who had struggled at public school, went on to win a full scholarship at the leading university in New Jersey, and will graduate in the 2009-10 academic year.  Others eventually went to attend other top college programs, including the United States Coast Guard Academy, Grove City College, Thomas Aquinas College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Patrick Henry College.

: The success of the 2003 U.S. History course led to this program offering it again in 2006.  Then 43 students took this one-day-a-week, one-semester class.  The College Board SAT II exam had changed by then, with an emphasis on topics like popular culture that our class did not cover.  Nevertheless, at least ten (10) students scored at 610 or higher, and one student attained a perfect score of 800/800.  As before, students from this class ultimately went to fine universities, with one student earning a full college scholarship.  Due to its remarkable success, in 2008 another offering of this course attracted 65 students.
