  JUNIORS STUDY HAMILTON & SEE "HAMILTON THE MUSICAL"To cap off their study of Alexander Hamilton in American Studies, juniors recently saw "Hamilton the Musical." As part of the unit, students have been discussing Hamilton's life and times and conducted a cutthroat role play set in 1775 NYC -- acting out some of the same dramas that unfolded in the musical. (Imagine a class discussion on fiscal policy followed by a reading of the Constitution's "necessary and proper clause" performed as a rap battle!) More photos.
