Department Goals and Objectives
As a result of participating in the SJNA Social Studies program, students will be able to:
March 24 – April 2, 2023
Join Mr. Bennett and a group of SJNA students and faculty members as they travel across Europe for 10 days and visit some of the most iconic and historical places in Europe, France, and Belgium. Sites include Westminster Abbey, Normandy D-Day landing beaches, Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, a guided tour of the Battle of the Bulge Battlefield, and more! During this trip, students will learn about history by seeing it first-hand. One unique factor of this trip is visiting Belleau Wood, a key battle location during World War I where St. John’s Military Academy alumni Scott Johnston (namesake of Scott Johnston Hall on campus) fought and is buried. Scott Johnston served as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, commissioning in May 1917 and served honorably until his death in 1918. Johnston was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism.
