In November of 2021, the Gizella Abramson Holocaust Education Act (GAHEA) was passed as part of the budget. One of the primary provisions of the GAHEA states that...

"The State Board of Education shall review the middle school and high school standard course of study and, [ . . .] shall integrate into English, social studies courses, and other courses, as appropriate, education on the Holocaust and genocide"

The social studies standards listed in the charts below reflect the results of the NCDPI review of the SCOS for both middle and high school social studies courses.
