One of the challenges of a high school teacher and in particular a teacher of history is to find good and legitimate sources online.
Well there is nothing like a primary source. The Perseus Project by Tufts University is a collection of ancient sources, some in the original language, others in translation. Since I teach Latin, the ones in Latin are useful. But all of the texts in translation are also valuable. The challenge with this site is that it may be too overwhelming for some students. It does have a search capability so that a student doesn't have to read all of Caesar's The Gallic Wars to find references to Vercingetorix. The student can conduct a search.
An excellent resource, but recommended mostly for students in senior grades.
The site is:
