Social Justice Education Project
About SJEP: "The Social Justice Education Project began at Cholla High School in 2003. Since then, we have expanded to two more high schools -- Tucson High and Rincon High. SJEP is a two-year student-led social research program. During the students’ junior year, the project exists in an American History through a Chicano/a Perspective class. During their senior year, SJEP exists in an American Government class. In both classes social research is connected with the curriculum."
