OSPI recommends delivery of Washington State History content in the 7th grade. The requirement in rule (WAC 392-410-120) is "a one-semester course -- i.e., 90 (50 minute) hours of instruction -- or its equivalent in Washington State history and government In grades seven through twelve combined, but not at each grade level." 

Washington State History content may be embedded in another course if the state history content is equivalent to what would have been taught in a semester stand-alone course. The successful completion of this requirement must be indicated on students’ transcripts.
