The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of high school students' perceptions of their Geography course in a Southeast Texas high school. Five focus groups of students were assembled (seventeen students in two groups of four and three groups of three participants) and asked a series of six questions relating to the different curricular aspects of geography. Using phenomenological methods, a reduction of the focus groups responses were made into a final summation of the perceptions of students and their coursework. Findings of the research illustrated that students had various perceptions about geographic coursework. Various perceptions included: learning about unfamiliar places, using geographic tools to find locations, cultural awareness, and degradation of the Earth, adaptation to the Earth, conflict, migration, polluting, and use of geographic terminology. Future implications for practice include the inclusion of emerging spatial technology, GIS autobiographical and curricular emphasis on the six strands of geographic education.
