DC History is a 9th grade required course. You cannot graduate high school without it. It's only a half year course, but the book is HUGE and it could very well be taught in a whole year.
The high school social studies curriculum is:
9th: World Geography for one semester, DC history for one semester (can be concurrent or consecutive, doesn't matter)
10th: World History (but I took it as a senior due to overcrowding), one year
11th: US History, one year
12th: US Government (I can't remember if non-AP government was a half year, but AP was a full year)
