English Department

The English department at the high school offers a comprehensive program focused on meeting the individual needs of the students. This program, at each level 9-12, provides all of the basic English skills fortified with reading and study skills. The regular track is essentially a college preparatory track that incorporates literature, writing, speaking and research skills in a sequenced pattern in grades 9-12. The honors program, culminating with the advanced placement classes on the twelfth grade level, is a rigorous and challenging program designed to develop analytical skills as well as advanced level writing and speaking skills.

In addition to the basic English curriculum, the department offers a variety of electives for the further enrichment of the students. These electives include English Composition, Mass Communications, Creative Writing, Speech, Newspaper, and Yearbook.
