A man in a dark suit and striped tie smiles at the camera outdoors.The English Department's curriculum lends itself to thematic units and activities which readily align themselves in terms of the district goal of Social/Emotional learning. Our units on ethics, justice, identity, and society become a springboard for class discussions, group activities, role playing, independent writing, and self-reflective journaling in order to address the learning needs of the whole child. 

The English Department fosters the ability for all students to be able to effectively communicate ideas through both traditional and contemporary modes of communications. Students are instructed in oral articulation, written language, and electronic communications. The English Department's focus on the power of language prepares students for higher academia, the business world, private communications, and daily life.

We will continue to expand our effort to compel students to read and to respond to as many challenging and varied texts as possible. Those texts will range from traditional classics to non-fiction works to multicultural works to high interest formats of our time (graphic novels, blogs, etc).
