Each year, after the coursework is completed, students are asked to consider who should be added to our virtual wall as "most influential" in US history.
These are they:

APUSH Class of 2006 (1st add) Abraham Lincoln who tackled the issue of slavery once and for all and set a course of Union among the states as opposed to a loose confederation that could be dissolved	APUSH Class of 2007 (2nd add) George Washington who showed great leadership as commander of the Continental army and whose every decision set a precedent to be considered by all who would follow
APUSH Class of 2008 (3rd add) Bill Gates who changed the way we do business, research and communicate.  People and places all around the world are now literally at our fingertips.	APUSH Class of 2009 (4th add) Martin Luther King, Jr. whose non-violent methods changed the civil rights movement and set America on the right path to equal rights for all American citizens.
APUSH Class of 2010 (5th add) Benjamin Franklin whose leadership and prestige at home and abroad allowed the United States to gain independence and navigate the Critical Period to stability.
