At Westbury High school, in between English and math, the students learn history. But on Monday, they learned about a very specific day in history: September 11th.

Students at Westbury High School are now learning about the history of 9/11 in their history classes. CeFaan Kim has the story.In honor of the victims of the September 11th attacks, a school on Long Island is making it a priority to teach the history of that fateful day.

"Just hearing about it makes you feel uneasy even. Just to think about how people must've felt," said 11th grader Katherine Guerra Ferrera. "How the medical people, how they felt. How scared they must've been to know that was going on and still trying to help other people." "We're never going to get too dark. We're not here to scare kids," Jacobs said. "We're not here to depress them. We're here to educate them about the events of that day."Two middle school classes in Copiague got a lesson, and those students got a slightly different curriculum than the high school students.
