“HISTORY NERDS” BATTLE FOR THE CANNON
You’ve heard of the Battle for the Stump now there’s the battle for the Cannon.
The first annual AP US History Review Battle with Santa Cruz High was a great success! Though Santa Cruz High's AP US History students won by a very narrow margin, everyone had a good time and had a chance to review for the upcoming AP test. We'll bring home the Review Battle Cannon next year for Soquel!
