The purpose of the English Department is to teach students to read intelligently, to think logically, to express themselves clearly, and to enjoy literature. An intense writing program and a variety of oral activities ensure that clear writing and oral communication skills are developed through a sequential program from grades 7 - 12. Students read American, Asian, and European literature to understand and appreciate the ideas they express, the styles and forms in which they are written, and the cultures from which they spring.
